WellConnector

59 million. That's how many Americans are providing unpaid care for an adult loved one right now — parents, spouses, adult children — totaling nearly 50 billion hours of care a year, valued at over $1 trillion nationally (AARP, 2026).

In Florida alone, 4.3 million people caring for adults are putting in 4.1 billion hours annually — work worth an estimated $81 billion.

Behind so many of those numbers, there is someone standing in a waiting room, trying to recall a parent's medications from memory. Rewriting the same medical history for the third specialist this year. Managing paperwork for someone who is not able to manage it themselves.

Caregivers already carry so much. Repetitive intake forms shouldn't be one more thing on that list. That's exactly the problem WellConnector was built to solve — giving patients and the people caring for them a way to carry accurate health information and share it in seconds, wherever care happens. No clipboard. No starting from scratch every visit.

We're getting closer to bringing WellConnector to life, and we can't wait to show you what's next. Stay tuned. 💙

Jill Schlesinger of CBS Saturday Morning recently discussed tips for caregivers, including those in the sandwich generation. In this segment, she discusses the toll on caregivers (citing AARP's latest data) and how a central repository caregivers can access (for lists like doctors, medications etc.) can help give them a sense of control and keep things from falling through the cracks. We could not agree more and believe WellConnector will be a tool caregivers can rely on.
