CaringUp is reshaping how families care for their loved ones

Chronic diseases and conditions are on the rise worldwide. An aging population and changes in societal behaviour are contributing to a steady increase in these common and costly long-term health problems.

According to the World Health Organization, chronic disease prevalence is expected to rise by 57 percent in 2021 and this number is set to increase further in the coming years.

An issue that is of huge concern related to chronic diseases is poor medical compliance with prescribed medications and this can adversely affect treatment outcomes for patients.

Enter CaringUp, the creator of a unique platform, designed by world-leading care specialists and behavioral scientists, to help patients with chronic conditions and their families live a better life. This relatively new startup aims to bridge the medical compliance gap by driving behavioral change whilst at the same time incentivizing and empowering families to take care of their loved ones.

Backed by data and years of experience by professional healthcare practitioners, this platform helps patients manage their doctor’ appointments and even rewards them for following their prescription.
