Several caregiver coordination apps have added AI assistants to help families manage medications, appointments and care tasks for relatives with medical conditions or disabilities. According to AARP, an estimated 63 million Americans cared for adults or children with a medical condition or disability in 2025, spending up to 27 hours per week on average providing care.

Caring Village, founded in 2015, now includes an AI assistant called Julia that can answer caregiving questions. The app also provides an appointment calendar, to-do list, wellness journal for tracking symptoms and moods, task assignment features, care plan creation and medication reminders.

Mejo, a web-based caregiver app created in 2022 by Bret Koncak based on his experiences with his two sons who have complex needs, consolidates an individual’s medical history into a one-page summary that can be shared with caregivers, doctors and therapists. “A lot of people think that caregiving begins and ends with interactions with the health care system, but a lot of it is about what happens between care visits,” Koncak said.

Medisafe, created in 2013, tracks medications and sends reminders, notifying caregivers if doses are missed. The app includes appointment tracking, symptom monitoring, health care contact lists and a drug interaction checker for reviewing medication safety.
