๐ฃ Calling all Caregivers! I'm a new Lovable Industry Ambassador; Let's Build Together!
๐๐ผ Hi all! Exciting news for #TheFamilyHealthcarePlaybook! I've been selected to join the Lovable Ambassador Program as the Caregiving Industry Lead in San Francisco. ๐
โฅ๏ธ As my mom's primary caregiver and a global tech communications executive turned author and founder, my goal -- my intention -- is simple: to raise awareness of and ignite a global conversation about the need for better support, resources, and infrastructure for caregivers. AND to equip other "accidental" caregivers like me with said tools and infrastructure to help make our caregiving journeys easier. It's not enough for me to just talk about it; I've gotta be about it. ๐ช๐ผ
โจFirst, a Caregiving Playbook; Now a Digital Platform Built with Lovable
I started with The Family Healthcare Playbook (analog, practical, tactile support), but that was only the beginning. Since The Playbookโs release a few months ago, I've spoken with hundreds of caregivers, healthcare professionals, families, other founders, and entrepreneurs, and there's much more work to do. Two themes have emerged:
Everyone's caregiving situation is different, and
Caregivers want someone to talk to for advice, preferably someone who's been through it. One question begets another begets anotherโฆ. And so....
๐๐งก I knew tech could help, but I'm not about to throw another app or a random bot in the mix just for techโs sake. So I sketched out (literally wrote, typed, and drew) what a helpful tool might look like; then I built it with Lovable. Yes. Me. I Built It. With Lovable!
๐๏ธ Okay Karesha, What Did You Build?
I'm glad you asked! I built the prototype for AskKaresha.ai, a digital advisory tool for family caregivers, rooted in the best practices, advice, tips, and tricks from The Family Healthcare Playbook.
Great! Karesha, I'm Ready to Build Too. How Do I Start?
โ Sign up at AskKaresha.ai to learn more! Drop your name via the link in the comments, or shoot me a DM. Weโre opening early access to test out the app later this year and I canโt wait to hear what you think. And if you're building tools and support for caregivers with Lovable, or you want to start, come say hi! And let's build together!
๐๐ผ Big thanks to Team Lovable for their incredibly warm welcome and their support of the ambassador program. Special shout-outs to Mary Findley, Ashley Olafsen, Sophia Nabil, and the extended team for all of their support. Let's Go!
