Why we exist

Over half of family caregivers perform medical tasks.
Only 11% were ever trained.

63 million Americans are managing a parent's medications, specialists, and hospital visits — from memory.

AARP · Caregiving in the U.S., 2025

The problem

Most of care still arrives in fragmented pieces.

Texts, voice notes, photos of pill bottles, portal emails, missed calls — from everyone, all week, in no order at all.

The problem

Care is a clinical problem and an administrative one.

Families end up running both — the medications and the paperwork.

The problem

For 26 million people, care doesn’t happen in English.

Someone in the family ends up translating. Alongside works in the language they already use.

I keep a running Google doc with all current medications, doctors listed, and medical notes from every appointment.

r/Alzheimers· Reddit

Does anyone document the details and dates of when things happen? If so, do you share with doctors, in person or online, or share with relatives?

Waiting and waiting for prior authorizations while sitting in the hospital.

1

Record any conversation.

Doctor visit, insurance call, pharmacy call, or voice memo. Alongside identifies who you spoke to, what it was about, what changed, and what was promised.

2

Understand what matters.

Every conversation becomes an organized summary — medication changes, diagnoses, deadlines, next steps. Tap an unfamiliar term for plain English, then ask follow-ups in chat.

3

Analyze the paperwork.

Photograph an insurance letter, denial, EOB, referral, or discharge document. Alongside tells you what it is, what it means, what to do, and by when.

4

Follow through for you.

It remembers the open loops — referral not booked, prior auth pending, prescription running out — and prompts or acts on the next step until it’s resolved.

What is this letter from Anthem??
It’s a utilization review for therapeutic exercise (code 97110). Her therapy isn’t on hold — Anthem wants the clinic’s notes to match Policy C-07002. This is for her clinic’s billing team, not for you to answer.

Notes from the founderI’m a physician and engineer, and for the past three years I’ve been deploying AI in enterprise healthcare. Before any of that, I sat in on my parents’ appointments and handled their paperwork. Alongside is the thing I kept wishing we had.
