NaviCare: Never Feel Lost in a Hospital Again
I created NaviCare after experiencing firsthand how overwhelming and disorienting hospitals can be, especially for patients navigating them alone. As a brain tumor survivor and pre-med student from a rural, underserved community, I saw the need for a simple, intuitive solution that could help patients access the care they need without confusion or delay.
NaviCare is a mobile app that provides real-time ER wait times, turn-by-turn indoor navigation, and filters to help patients find in-network providers based on their insurance. We’ve built a working prototype, filed a provisional patent, and are preparing to launch our first hospital pilot.
With your support, we’ll finalize app development, enhance multilingual accessibility, and create outreach materials to help underserved patients—especially in rural areas—navigate their healthcare journeys with clarity and confidence.
We believe every patient deserves to feel seen, supported, and empowered. NaviCare is how we make that happen.
