Halifax-based Home + Health has created an app to streamline the provision and receipt of healthcare and other services for seniors at home. The new company is now seeking financial investment and partners to refine its product and boost public awareness.
To date, the 18-month-old venture has been bootstrapped by founders Alan MacKeen, Managing Partner, and Principal Matt Shaw. The company was inspired by the experiences of Shaw and his siblings as they tried to provide care for their parents.
“Given the fact my parents’ one wish was to remain at home, we put together a program that allowed them to do just that, despite some complications,” Shaw, a long-time tech entrepreneur, told Entrevestor.
“The logistics were very time-consuming. I thought that if we could bring qualified people together under one umbrella, it would simplify the process…The app allows for direct communication between family members, seniors, and providers.”
