Remember Better Together
Inspired by my own family, Wist was created to help families take care of their loved ones suffering from dementia related illnesses. My grandmother developed dementia about 8 years ago and my family struggles with balancing her needs with our own schedules. We cannot afford to bring in professional help, so it is up to everyone in the family to take part in caring for my grandmother which is not an easy task to take on. Upon talking to other families in similar situations, I found that my family was not the only one dealing with this.
What is Wist?
When someone in our family develops dementia, we often feel helpless and overwhelmed by emotional and financial burdens. Many families can't afford the professional help that they need which results in too much stress and inadequate care for their loved one. Wist is an app that helps families stay connected and distribute care throughout the entire family. The app allows families to track their loved one's medical history, emotional changes and manage a daily to-do list.
Wist keeps track of medical history, emotional changes, daily tasks and helpful tips for the family to keep their loved one as happy as possible. The Alerts section was created to distribute tasks, keep track of their family member's whereabouts and cut down time texting the same concerns through traditional text messaging apps. Wist keeps everything organized in one place for the family and medical professionals to reference whenever needed.
