Hibi: The app simplifying complex care information

Behind each child with complex needs, is a family working hard to manage, coordinate and navigate their care. A never-ending paper trail of medical documents, prescriptions, therapies and endless nights Google-ing for information.

If only there was a centralised place where all this information could be stored, ready to share with the appropriate people when needed.

Well, the good news there is!

We recently had the pleasure of meeting the co-founder of Hibi, Sam Milliken-Smith, who told us all about their awesome app that is revolutionising the way parents manage their child’s care information.

“We built Hibi having ourselves seen how fragmented and complex care systems can be for families. We know just how overwhelming it is to manage, coordinate and navigate care,” Sam explains.

Hibi is a free app that helps parents and carers offload some of the admin that comes with caring for a child with disability. That means you can have all of your child’s key information, all in one place – at your fingertips.

Sam says he had personally experienced the immense complexity parents encounter while supporting children with additional needs. Determined to make a difference, Sam built Hibi together with his co-founder Uzay Macar.

“We wanted to build something that could provide the tools and resources that families need to coordinate their child’s care.”

Hibi means that you can forget having to remember your child’s medications and dosing during an emergency, and you no longer need to recite their diagnosis story every time you see a new specialist.

With features including a shareable care passport, journal and information trackers, Hibi allows multiple carers to stay across your child’s supports, medications, appointments, symptoms and more. It also provides access to expert advice, guidance, and a supportive community of fellow parents.

Sam recently was bestowed the honour of being invited by the UK Prime Minister to 10 Downing Street in London, to share the incredible work of the Hibi team in supporting caregiving through technology.

We think Hibi is so much more than an app and we encourage you to check it out for yourselves. For more info, go to hibi.health
