Helpful offers an app that organizes the administrative parts of family caregiving, integrating insurance benefits, medical records, medications, after-visit summaries, and care plans into a single place. The company focuses on alleviating administrative burdens for the over 53 million U.S. family caregivers by surfacing personalized and localized caregiver benefits and training on medical conditions. Helpful charges payors and currently offers the app free to family members of Original Medicare (Parts A & B) under applicable legal guidelines. The app launched with a payor partner and a waitlist of about 4,000 people, growing roughly 2,000 people per week. Founder Wes Donohoe, who previously served as chief product officer at Everside Health and VP of product at One Medical, developed the idea while a founder resident at Redesign Health. To surface insurance benefit information the company programmatically scrapes insurance websites because no API exists.
