By patient type

Different patients have different needs. Family Nudge captures the data that matters for each one.

👴

Elderly Parents & Aging Adults

The most common use case. Track daily vitals, meals, hydration, sleep, and medications for parents who can no longer fully manage their own care.

  • Monitor dehydration risk with Armstrong Scale
  • Track weight trends over time
  • Log emotional state changes morning and evening
  • Generate reports for geriatric care appointments
🧠

Alzheimer's & Dementia Patients

Patients with cognitive decline can't reliably self-report. Family Nudge gives caregivers a structured way to capture what doctors need to know.

  • Emotional state tracking (confusion, agitation, calm)
  • Sleep disruption and wakefulness patterns
  • Critical event logging for wandering or falls
  • Medication compliance verification
🏥

Post-Surgery & Recovery

After a hospital discharge, the first weeks are critical. Track recovery metrics and spot complications early.

  • Monitor bowel movements (Bristol Scale) post-anesthesia
  • Track fluid intake and urination frequency
  • Log medication schedules and pain levels
  • Flag critical events like fever or unusual symptoms
💉

Diabetes & Chronic Conditions

For patients managing ongoing conditions like diabetes, heart disease, COPD, or kidney disease. Daily tracking reveals patterns that occasional doctor visits miss.

  • Meal and nutrition logging for diabetes management
  • Movement and step tracking for rehabilitation
  • 30/90-day trend charts for specialist visits
🎗️

Cancer Patients

During treatment, documenting daily symptoms and side effects helps oncologists adjust care. Caregivers can track what patients may be too exhausted to report.

  • Meal and appetite tracking during chemotherapy
  • Sleep quality and fatigue patterns
  • Bowel and urination changes from medication
  • Emotional state through treatment phases
👶

Pediatric & Special Needs

Children with chronic conditions, developmental disabilities, or medical complexity need consistent tracking that parents can bring to every specialist visit.

  • Sleep and diaper logging for infants
  • Behavioral and emotional state observations
  • Multi-specialist report generation
🕊️

Palliative & Hospice Care

When comfort is the priority, detailed daily records help hospice teams provide the best possible quality of life.

  • Pain and comfort level observations
  • Intake and output monitoring
  • Sleep quality and restfulness
  • Comprehensive notes for hospice team handoffs
🧑‍🦽

Disability & Long-Term Care

For adults with physical or intellectual disabilities in home or community settings. Consistent records support care planning and funding advocacy.
