About While I’m Away

The While I’m Away app from Emering Minds was designed to help parents support the mental health and wellbeing of their child should they need to be cared for by someone else. The app guides parents through a series of questions to capture the most important information about their children including key people, daily routines, interests, hobbies, medical information and more. Parents are able to nominate someone to be their child’s caregiver and share the information collected by the app with them.

The app aims to help parents ensure their caregiver is well-informed and limit disruptions to their routines and care.
