As my beautiful twins were prematurely born and spent months in the NICU, my husband and I have known firsthand the challenges of using the healthcare system for our children. We needed a simple way to keep track of our kids' healthcare reports and access all their healthcare history, including vaccination schedules, from a single reliable source. Parents often experience fear and anxiety about their children's growth due to comparisons based on their height, weight, diet, and other factors. That's when the idea for KidsCur was born. The unending number of additional documents with each visit to the doctor, not knowing the nearest best paediatricians and closest pharmacies for odd-hour medications, laid the basis for one of the many accessible features in the app. KidsCur offers a service where every parent can securely save their child's healthcare and vaccine records, growth charts, health history, etc. It is an all-in-one place with shared access for both parents, offering easy access to patient information. In a nutshell, KidsCur contributes to better childcare and more efficient healthcare delivery in times of need, anywhere, anytime.
We identified the following problems before beginning our startup:
1. Scattered Health Records: The traditional paper trail of children's health records can be a nightmare—prone to getting lost, damaged, or forgotten in some drawer.
2. Milestone Mayhem: Parents often miss important signs or fail to document progress accurately, resulting in delayed responses to potential health issues.
3. Doctor Dilemma: Hunting for a reliable paediatrician or healthcare provider nearby, especially in urgent situations, is often stressful and time-consuming. Parents are left guessing who to trust without immediate access to verified local professionals.
4. Vaccination Vexation: Missing a shot can expose children to preventable diseases, creating a health risk that could have been easily avoided with timely reminders.
We provide:
1. Seamless Convenience: By consolidating health records, milestones, and reminders into one accessible platform, KidsCur alleviates the burden of manual tracking and organization for parents.
2. Enhanced Peace of Mind: With reliable reminders and an organized system, parents can rest easy knowing they won’t miss crucial health check-ups or vaccinations.
3. Vaccination and Event Scheduler: The App's comprehensive calendar keeps track of upcoming vaccinations and health-related events, sending alerts and reminders to ensure parents never miss a critical appointment.
4. Proactive Health Monitoring: Keeping a close eye on growth milestones and vaccination schedules promotes timely interventions and preventative care, leading to better overall health outcomes for children.
We are also bringing about the following impact by our startup in the ecosystem:
Centralized Digital Health Records: No more scattered papers — everything is neatly organized and always accessible, providing peace of mind that vital records are safe from loss or damage.
Growth Milestone Tracker: The app is equipped with features to monitor and record a child’s developmental milestones. It not only logs progress but also sends timely notifications for important health check-ups and assessments, ensuring no milestone is overlooked.
Local Healthcare Finder: Kidscur Includes a location-based service that pinpoints trusted paediatricians and healthcare providers within a 15-kilometer radius. With ratings, reviews, and contact details at their fingertips, parents can quickly and confidently choose the best care for their children.
