What does Family Care include?

Family Care is built around coordinating care for a household. Subscribers typically get:

  • Shared family coordination — Multiple caregivers working from the same family data with appropriate sharing.
  • Unified Today view — One daily hub for routines, doses, and health readings, with full calendar history beyond the free three-day window.
  • Quick one-tap actions — Shortcuts to log doses and start flows faster from Today.
  • Health tracking and trends — Temperatures and other readings with richer history and charts (including fever logs scoped to Care sessions during illness).
  • Body metrics — Weight and BMI trends for adults (and weight/height logging that pairs with growth tools for children).
  • Growth & development — Pediatric height, weight, and head-size charts with WHO and CDC percentile curves.
  • Care medication courses — Short antibiotic and antiviral reminder schedules during illness episodes.
  • Care wellness readings: Optional hydration, passed fluids, stool, eating, sleep, mood, and vomit check-ins during a care session (from 2.7.0). See How do I log wellness readings during care?
  • Travel mute for home caregivers: When some of the household is travelling, mute destination-hour reminders on the phone that stayed home (from 2.7.0). The experimental Travel overlay for your own members is available without a subscription. See What happens when I travel to another timezone?
  • Care session notes — Included in family reports for the report period.
  • Medication buy reminders: Mark medicines as running low (available on free too). Family Care adds a shared mobile To pick up list and a daily digest (not stock counts).
  • Devices (RFID coins): Program an NFC coin on a pack, tap with your phone, and confirm a queued dose, timer, medication details card, or mark overdue routines taken (from 2.7.2). Programming is on iPhone or Android. See How do I use RFID coins?
  • Family reports — In-depth summaries per family member over selectable periods.
  • Future family features — Access to new coordination tools as they ship.
