Problem
Individuals facing medical or personal hardships often rely on informal networks of family, friends, and caregivers for support, but coordinating meals, rides, and other assistance can become chaotic and lead to duplicated effort or missed tasks.
Solution
Family Proud is a mobile application that creates a shared support network for people in need and their caregivers. The app provides a centralized checklist where care coordinators can assign, track, and update tasks in real time, ensuring that each request—such as a meal delivery or a ride—is visible to all supporters. Participants can communicate directly within the platform, reducing the need for fragmented messaging and enabling supporters to focus on providing help rather than managing logistics. Real‑time notifications keep everyone informed of task status, while a simple interface lets users quickly add or claim support actions, fostering coordinated, meaningful assistance.
Target Audience
Primary users include caregivers managing acute medical diagnoses, family members coordinating care, individuals experiencing hardship, and friends or volunteers who want to provide assistance.
