Being a caregiver—whether for a child or a parent who wants to stay independent—can feel like a second full-time job. And caregiving comes in many forms. For some, it’s a full-on role managing daily medications and specialist visits. For others, it’s more occasional: helping a loved one to find the right doctor, ask the right questions, understand those tests results, coordinate appointments, or stepping in when extra support is needed.
Either way, the hardest part often happens before the doctor's visit. Caregivers spend time tracking down records, lab results, and medication lists, while also trying to help their loved one prepare the right questions, capture new symptoms, and make sure priorities don’t get forgotten in the rush.
That prep work is critical—but without the right tools, it’s overwhelming and often incomplete.
Alcott brings both sides together. It organizes the health information and guides caregivers and patients through visit prep so every appointment starts with clarity and focus.
Scattered records: Lab results in one portal, imaging in another, medications scribbled on paper. Pulling it all together before an appointment takes hours.
Forgotten questions: Caregivers often carry mental checklists—“remember to ask about the new rash,” “don’t forget the medication refill,” “ask whether that lab result matters”—but in the rush of the visit, half of it never gets asked.
Repetition and rework: Clinicians spend precious minutes re-gathering basic information from patients or loved ones instead of diving into decisions .
Overload without support: Caregivers are forced to act as project managers of someone’s health journey, without tools built for the job.
Clinicians already spend more time in electronic health records than they do face-to-face with patients. That time crunch spills over to caregivers, who are left filling in the gaps, trying to make sure nothing important slips through.
Every visit counts. With Alcott, caregivers don’t just gather records—they prepare with confidence, surfacing the right questions and making sure patients and clinicians walk in on the same page.
