Retirement care planner

Families facing a parent's decline must rapidly assemble a plan across fragmented domains (in-home care, assisted living, Medicare vs. Medicaid eligibility, out-of-pocket affordability) with no single source of truth. Costs are opaque and rising, benefit rules are confusing, and decisions are usually made reactively during a crisis, leading to financial strain, caregiver burnout, and suboptimal care choices.

Healthcare

Vertigo relief app

BPPV is the most common vestibular disorder, yet sufferers face long waits for ENT/vestibular specialists and struggle to perform repositioning maneuvers like the Epley correctly at home from static diagrams. Without guided head-positioning, episode tracking, and recurrence coaching, patients self-treat incorrectly, relapse (recurrence occurs in roughly half of cases), and miss daily activities.
