When caring for someone turns into five WhatsApp groups
Orbi is a circle: the family joins, the caregiver joins, and everyone sees the same thing. Medications, appointments, how the day went and the hours worked.
The problem isn't that the family doesn't talk
It's that they talk in five different places. The siblings' group, the group with the caregiver, the side chat with whoever went to the doctor, the two-minute voice message nobody listened to all the way through. And at the end of the day, the simplest question — did she take her pill? — has no answer in any of them.
It almost always ends up with one person who knows everything. And that person burns out.
What Orbi actually solves
- Medications. You enter them once, with name, dose and time. Whoever gives them taps a button and a green check appears. Anyone in the family sees it instantly.
- Doctor's appointments. With the time and who's going along. And if you like, connect your Google Calendar and they show up in the calendar you already use.
- The daily log. By text or by voice: "ate well, took a nap, his knee was bothering him." It's written down, not lost in a voice message.
- Medical history. Every visit, every test, in order. At the doctor's office you have it all at hand.
- The caregiver's hours and pay. Crystal clear, so there are no misunderstandings at the end of the month. No other app has this.
Your mom doesn't need to use a phone. Orbi is built for the family and for whoever does the caregiving, not to make an older person learn an app. The caregiver does three things: taps a button, sends a voice message, or snaps a photo of a prescription. If they can use WhatsApp, they can use Orbi.
If you live in another country
It works just as well from Madrid, Barcelona, Milan or Miami. Same circle, same schedule, same notes — the same day and at the same time as your siblings. The hard part of living far away isn't the distance: it's finding out three days late.
