How we started

Seven years ago, my mother’s illness thrust me into a pivotal role, managing all aspects of her care. This journey mirrored that of my friend Jean, who faced a similar situation with her mother-in-law. Through our shared struggles and conversations, the idea for r-Thread was born – a centralized platform for real-time access to vital medical information, promoting collaborative caregiving.

Our platform’s evolution reflects our growing insight into healthcare technology. We’ve harnessed its power while identifying its limitations. This journey ignited our commitment to refining r-Thread, making it an indispensable tool for transforming healthcare engagement.

Our mission is to empower families navigating caregiving complexities with confidence and compassion. Through r-Thread, we envision revolutionizing the way individuals approach healthcare, providing a unified solution for coordinated and informed care.
