Problem
Family caregivers are thrust into a complex medical system with no training, no manual, and no one to call at 2 a.m. They face fragmented information, dense jargon, and disconnected resources, leaving them to decode a broken system on their own while managing a loved one's care. The result is overwhelm, delayed decisions, and burnout.
Solution
Blaze is a caregiving navigation platform that acts as a guide through the adult caregiving journey. It turns a caregiver's concern into a clear, actionable next step, reducing time spent on searching and helping users become fluent in the medical system. The platform provides plain-language resources, expert-backed guides, and practical tools—such as checklists for what to ask and how to advocate—so families can make informed decisions quickly. Rather than simply offering more links, Blaze connects users to the right answers and experts already available in their communities, positioning itself as the map rather than the hands.
