The Caregiving Challenge

A disconnected experience with no system to support it

Fragmentation

Disconnected Tools & Workflows

Care givers rely on multiple apps, manual tracking, and informal communication - creating gaps, duplication, and missed information. 

Uninformed Decision Making

High Stakes, Low Clarity

Untrained caregivers are forced to make complex health decisions without structured guidance or unified context. 

Lack of Coordination

No Shared System of Record

Family members, providers, and support networks operate independently, with no centralized view of care activity. 

OUR APPROACH

One system.
Designed to coordinate care. 

Rather than building isolated features, Marker Seven defined and delivered Carys as a connected system - integrating workflows, data, and communications into a unified platform. The focus was not just usability, but system integrity: ensuing everything works together in real-world caregiving conditions.

PLATFORM FOUNDATION

A system built to evolve. 

Carys was architected as a scalable platform supporting multiple user roles, expanding features, and future integrations. A flexible data model and modular architecture allow the system to grow - enabling more adaptive, personalized, and intelligent experiences over time.

EXPERIENCE DESIGN

Care built around real behavior.

The platform integrates key caregiving functions into a single experience:

  • Coordination across family and support networks
  • Tracking and interpreting health information
  • Communication between stakeholders
  • Task management and daily workflows

Each interaction is designed to reduce friction and increase clarity in high-stress situations. 

BUILDING REQUIREMENTS

A Vision for Modern Caregiving

With elder-care experience across out team, we were fully vested in success

01. Product Definition

A system built to evolve.

M7 partnered with the founding team beyond execution - supporting product positioning, go-to-market strategy, and overall platform direction. This ensured alignment between:
