WayWiser - Family Coordination

WayWiser.Life

About this app

Prepare for the “what if” scenarios that life might throw your way by connecting with your Trusted Circle on WayWiser.

Our simple methodology will help you organize and manage your and your loved ones’ health and financial well-being through each stage of life.

WayWiser is a place to connect with your Trusted Circle in order to anticipate and manage the challenges that each stage of life can throw your way.

Organize and coordinate with your loved ones by posting daily updates, securely storing and sharing vital documents, collaborating on calendar events and appointments, tracking tasks, managing medications, and coordinating other key routines and facets of life.


HOW IT WORKS:

CREATE A TRUSTED CIRCLE™
Create a private, secure Trusted Circle of family, close friends, or paid caregivers.
Coordinate care from anywhere with private messaging, an activity feed, shared calendars, and collaborative notes & lists that provide access to key information.


STORE & SHARE DOCUMENTS
Use your Family Vault to securely store and share legal documents, wills, power of attorney, advance directives, medical bills, tax documents, ID cards, and so much more. Be sure that anyone who might need access to these documents can get that access without issue, when they need them the most.


COLLABORATE WITH NOTES & LISTS
Keep track of important caregiving details in stored notes and lists, instantly distributed across your Trusted Circle, always available when you need them.
Manage emergency contacts, medications, daily caregiving tasks, doctor’s notes, diet restrictions, shopping lists, household needs, or anything else that you might want to share with your caregiving team.


COORDINATE WITH A SHARED CALENDAR
Easily create calendar events that are shared across your Trusted Circle.
Include date, time, location, and important details.
Instantly let everyone in your Trusted Circle know about an appointment, medication needs, bill due dates, family outings, and more.
You can even use the calendar to track incidents, organize meal trains, and beyond.
Always know when important caregiving events or appointments are occurring and understand who will be managing the activity, even when you aren’t able to be there yourself.


SHARE DAILY UPDATES
Quickly share caregiving updates with members of your Trusted Circle using the activity feed. Share details about the day, photos, audio recordings, or video.
Share information from a recent check-in with your parent, a doctor visit, or post status updates for housework, bill payments, or deliveries.


WHY DID WE CREATE WAYWISER?
Our mission is to protect the hard-earned assets, financial independence, and dignity of people as they age, so they can live their best life.

It’s estimated that older Americans lose $36 billion each year to financial exploitation and it’s known that the number is grossly underestimated.

Extensive academic research shows social isolation and loneliness causes cognitive decline which leads to financial exploitation, so you can’t address the problem of exploitation without addressing social isolation.

And goodness, do we know this problem.

When our co-founders were individually thrust into managing an older adult’s financial affairs and providing other forms of care, we immediately searched for solutions. Believe us, we were desperate for help, and we searched hard for answers, to no avail.

And the 43 million Americans who provided unpaid care this year are still searching for a comprehensive solution as well. We said, “there has got to be a better way.”

Our focus is on creating a platform and support system where an older adult can be connected to the people that care about them, that provides the necessary tools and apps for the caregivers to fulfill their roles, and to protect ALL the older adult’s assets.

Ratings and reviews

The app no longer showed my circle after I switched phones in October. I emailed support and have never gotten a response. I'm tech savy and have tried many of the usual glitchy app fixes but nothing works. My other family uses iPhones so I assume the Android version just really is a low priority with no updates in the last 6 months. It would be an ok app if they'd fix the bugs and make the app usable.

this feels more like a protype than a finished product. as far as i can tell, it really offers nothing that can't be accomplished with a simple shared note. tracking medications is literally just a blank note card. recordong doctors/contact info? another blank note. nothing more whatsoever. it works fine for what it is. but what it is just aint much in my opinion.

It would be extremely helpful if there could be different color dots, for different people's appointments. Despite allowing permissions, unable to add profile picture.
