“Kinary, a leading platform dedicated to supporting caregivers and enhancing family caregiving, and a subsidiary of HealthiPeople, is excited to announce the formation of an Advisory Board featuring experts in healthcare, technology, and strategic communications. This initiative underscores Kinary’s commitment to revolutionizing caregiving by offering innovative solutions that help family caregivers manage their responsibilities while maintaining fulfilling lives. These solutions include tools designed to reduce caregiver burnout by streamlining day-to-day coordination and care management.
With nearly 54% of Americans now part of the ‘sandwich generation’—juggling care for both children and aging parents—family caregivers are spending an average of 26% of their income on caregiving. As the U.S. population continues to age, the need for accessible and innovative caregiving solutions is more urgent than ever.
Kinary’s newly established Advisory Board includes a diverse group of thought leaders with extensive clinical and practical experience. They will provide crucial insights to help Kinary achieve its goal of delivering a seamless caregiving experience for both caregivers and care recipients.
“Kinary’s mission is to transform the daily caregiving experience so that caregiving and living can coexist,” said Rohit Maheshwari, CEO of Kinary. “Our Advisory Board brings together a wealth of expertise that will be invaluable as we continue to shape the future of caregiving. We are thrilled to welcome these outstanding individuals to our team.”
