GBReview by Registered Nurse As a Registered Nurse, I am frequently called upon to assist in managing the care needs of family and friends. I had long searched for an app that met my needs, but they all fell short in one way or the other. I knew what I needed and even wished that I knew how to develop the app I wanted. Then I stumbled on Kith and Kin and my prayers were answered !!! There are apps out there that allow you to list medications and/or appointments but rarely include the ability to add your own notes. This app allows you to do all that plus create and title your own notebooks to suit your needs, for example, create a notebook to track vaccinations or one to monitor wound care etc; upload documents such as reports, info on a specific disease etc; note questions to ask at upcoming appts; manage medication refill dates and make note of any side effects and much much more. I cannot say enough good things about this powerful app that is intuitive and easy to use.

GBMental health history in one place? Yes, please. For years, I’ve struggled with my mental health. While I’ve been incredibly blessed to have fantastic therapists, I’ve had to switch a few times lately because of two moves, post pandemic regulations changing things. Even worse, I’ve had to navigate new psychiatrists. I really wish I’d had a whole history of the key modalities, links, articles, or even journal prompts therapists had given me over the years, but I’d never put my mental health stuff in one place. I sat down to get it organized and get my profile to reflect the whole story of different treatments, diagnoses, and how I handled each. Keeping this up in live time is making life way easier. Facing another move, I’m looking forward to being able to give a better history to my new providers. Changing regs required one of my prescribers ti verify which doses we’d tried before, and another meant I had to have a signed referral from my PCP to continue receiving telehealth psychiatry. Thankfully I can put all this in Kith & Kin to make this next go-around easier. I’m doing the same for my dog too — getting vet records, vaccine history, etc. all ready for a new vet. Definitely glad to not have to retrace my steps on all this. And while so much of this is super private info, it’s still good to have an emergency plan notebook I can share w/ someone local to make sure someone can access the most critical stuff should they need to. Glad to have a home for all this stuff!

GBAwesome tool for your Healthcare Great resource to keep track of multiple providers, tons of calls and information. After being paralyzed in a car accident, Dr appointments have become a huge portion of my life. This app really helps me keep track of everything. They are constantly working on improving the app. It's great!!
