Co-design CareStory with us — 3 months, free

CareStory is early-stage software, built by watching real families like yours navigate dementia care. It's a rough draft, not a finished product — expect bugs, missing polish, and features that change based on what you tell us. We're looking for a small group of family caregivers to use it, break it, and help shape what it becomes.

The details
What you get, what we ask

This isn't a polished app with a beta label on it — it's early-stage software, and you'd be one of the first people to actually use it. Some things will break. Some things won't exist yet. That's exactly why we want you involved.

What you get
  • Full access to CareStory for 3 months, completely free
  • A real say in what gets built next — not just a feedback form nobody reads
  • Direct access to our team when something breaks or feels off
What we ask
  • Patience with a rough-draft product — bugs and missing features are expected
  • One short survey each month (5–10 minutes)
  • One 30-minute check-in call each month with our team

Questions
Before you apply

No. CareStory is early-stage software. Expect rough edges, bugs, and features that are missing or still changing. This program is about co-designing the app with real caregivers, not testing something that's already done.

You may have the option to continue, depending on the outcome of the beta test. There's no obligation to continue using the app.

A few minutes a day for logging, plus about 45 minutes total each month for the survey and check-in call.

Life with a caregiving role is unpredictable — just let us know and we'll find another time that works.

Yes, this is our number one priority. The same privacy commitments that apply to every CareStory user apply here — we don't sell your data, we don't train on it, and we don't share it.
