Someone updates an appointment.
Everyone involved can see it.
For families and unpaid carers
When care is shared, everyone should see the same picture.
CareBoard keeps routines, appointments, notes, concerns and handovers in one calm place, so families and carers can stay in sync without chasing messages.
How it helps
Care shouldn’t depend on one person’s memory.
Something needs watching.
It doesn’t disappear into a group chat.
Someone else takes over.
They get a clear handover instead of twenty messages.

Handover
Hand over without the catch-up call.
CareBoard brings together the relevant information already recorded when somebody else takes over. Review it, add context and share a clear handover without rebuilding the day from memory.

- Spouse to sibling
- One family carer to another
- Family to respite support
Handovers are based on information entered by your care circle and should be reviewed before sharing.
Care Circle
Everyone involved sees the same picture.
Invite family and carers to the CareBoard they help with. The people you invite can see the shared details and do not each need their own subscription.
You stay in control of who joins and what role they have.
Why CareBoard exists
Built because family care already has enough admin.
CareBoard came from the practical problem of several people being involved in care and trying to keep everybody updated without relying on scattered messages, memory and repeated explanations.
It is a straightforward place for the details families need to share — designed around everyday care, not a clinical workflow.
Why I built CareBoard
I’m Chris Boyle, a family carer based in Dundee. I’ve been involved in caring for family for much of my life, helping care for my grandfather, who was blind and had significant mobility problems, and later my father, who needed full-time care after a serious stroke.
My wife and I also have two children with additional needs. We use CareBoard ourselves for appointments, reminders, tutoring, youth groups, health visits, food diaries and day-to-day coordination.
When several people are involved in someone’s care, keeping everyone informed can be difficult. While caring for my father, I was often trying to coordinate information between visiting carers, hospital staff, physiotherapists, GPs and family. Details ended up spread across messages, phone calls, appointments and conversations.
The first idea was simply a quick handover: a way to pull together what had happened and share it without having to remember and retype everything. That led to the idea behind CareBoard:
“Add something once when it happens, and the people who need to know can see it.”
CareBoard grew from that into the shared care organiser it is today.
