HEALTHIPEOPLE ESTABLISHES EXPERT ADVISORY BOARD TO ENHANCE FAMILY CAREGIVING SUPPORT

Healthcare Leaders from Deloitte, Stanford, UC Berkeley, and Montefiore Unite To Innovate for Family Caregivers’ Needs

HealthiPeople, a company committed to connecting patients, providers, and caregivers to improve patient outcomes, announces the formation of its Advisory Board comprised of industry leaders in healthcare, technology, and strategic communications. The advisory group has come together to advise on one of the company’s flagship products, Kinary, a mobile application dedicated to empowering family caregivers and enhancing the caregiving experience. This strategic initiative highlights HealthiPeople’s dedication to transforming the caregiving landscape by providing innovative solutions that enable family caregivers to balance their responsibilities while still leading fulfilling, independent lives. Kinary includes tools that ease family caregiver burnout by supporting day-to-day coordination and the management of care with others.

With nearly 54% of Americans now part of the ‘sandwich generation’—caring for both children and aging parents—family caregivers are spending an average of 26% of their income on caregiving. As the U.S. population ages, the demand for innovative and accessible caregiving solutions has never been more urgent.

HealthiPeople’s Advisory Board brings together a diverse group of thought leaders with a proven track record of clinical and care ecosystem experience, who will provide valuable insights, guiding the company in its goals to make the caregiving experience easier and more fulfilling for family caregivers and their care recipients.

“Kinary’s mission is to transform the daily caregiving experience so that giving care and living life can co-exist,” said Rohit Maheshwari, CEO of Kinary. “Our Advisory Board is a testament to this mission, bringing together a wealth of experience and expertise that will be invaluable as we continue to shape the future of caregiving. We are thrilled to welcome these remarkable individuals to our team.”
