Why CARE
Home-based care is a coordination problem.
Palliative care happens through relationships over time: patients, caregivers, volunteers, nurses, doctors, facilities, NGOs, and program teams working together. CARE gives that network a shared operating layer without turning care into a narrow registry or a standalone app.
CARE Core primitives
Patients
Facilities
Users
Roles
Forms
Tasks
Referrals
Care plans
Dashboards
APIs
Audit trails
FHIR-aligned records
Not another vertical system.
The same patient may move between home care, primary care, hospitals, pharmacy, diagnostics, TeleICU, and follow-up. CARE keeps those workflows connected on one open foundation.
A care grid around every patient
From first identification to the next safe follow-up.
CARE supports the complete loop of community-based care: who needs help, who is responsible, what happened at the visit, what must happen next, and where the system is falling behind.
02
Register
Create a shared record with local context.
03
Assess
Capture clinical, functional, and social needs.
04
Assign
Link the patient to a care team and facility.
05
Visit
Document home care at the point of service.
06
Follow up
Schedule the next action and owner.
07
Escalate
Route medical, referral, or supply needs.
08
Monitor
See coverage, gaps, and program quality.
Product capabilities
The pieces a home-care network actually needs.
CARE turns home visits into structured continuity of care: records, teams, visits, referrals, tasks, dashboards, and improvement loops.
Patient registry
A shared registry for vulnerable patients, families, caregivers, addresses, facility linkage, care needs, risk status, and local body mapping.
Home visit workflows
Mobile-first workflows for visit lists, vitals, symptoms, nursing needs, medicine needs, caregiver concerns, notes, and next visit dates.
Care-team coordination
Assign field workers, nurses, doctors, volunteers, NGOs, facilities, and follow-up owners without losing accountability across the network.
Structured records
Every visit, assessment, referral, note, follow-up, and care plan becomes part of the longitudinal CARE record.
Dashboards and coverage
Track registered patients, overdue visits, high-risk patients, referral status, workload, district coverage, and service gaps.
Volunteer and NGO coordination
Support registration, role mapping, training status, patient assignment, activity tracking, and collaboration with care teams.
Referral and escalation
Move from home care to doctor review, facility referral, specialist palliative care, teleconsultation, or supply support when risk increases.
Care planning
Turn problems, goals, interventions, home-care tasks, follow-up schedules, caregiver instructions, and review cycles into action.
Reference deployment
CARE has already been tested at population scale.
Kerala's palliative-care grid is the strongest proof point: CARE supports a statewide care-coordination model across patients, home visits, care teams, voluntary organizations, public facilities, and program dashboards.

Deployment snapshot for CARE-powered home and palliative-care programs.
Built on CARE Core
Reusable infrastructure, not a one-off palliative module.
CARE gives governments, hospitals, NGOs, and implementation partners a common foundation for home-based care that can be adapted locally and reused across programs.
Open-source and public-good oriented
Built on CARE Core, not a one-off app
FHIR-aligned structured patient records
Mobile-first frontline workflows
Designed for government and voluntary-sector networks
Dashboards for live program visibility
Role-based access and audit trails
Ready for AI-assisted documentation and summaries
Implementation model
Pilot a district. Train the network. Scale the grid.
CARE deployments can begin with a focused geography and expand through repeatable workflows, training packs, dashboards, and data-quality routines.
01
Map the care model
Understand patient identification, field teams, facilities, NGOs, referral routes, home-visit forms, training, and reporting needs.
02
Pilot one geography
Configure forms, dashboards, roles, visit workflows, and support processes in one district, network, or program area.
03
Train by role
Prepare field workers, nurses, doctors, volunteers, facility admins, coordinators, and program teams with workflow-specific training.
04
Scale with playbooks
Reuse deployment checklists, training packs, dashboard packs, data-quality reviews, support models, and governance rhythms.
CARE AI for home care
Reduce documentation burden without reducing accountability.
AI belongs inside the care workflow, on top of trusted records, roles, forms, and audit trails. In home-based care, CARE AI can help field teams document faster and help program teams see what needs attention.
Voice-native visit notes
Help nurses and field teams document in local languages with review before saving.
Patient summaries
Summarize long histories, recent visits, open tasks, and follow-up needs before a home visit.
Follow-up drafts
Draft care plans, caregiver instructions, referral summaries, and next-step checklists.

Reusable Home Care Grid
One reference model, many care programs.
CARE's home-care architecture can support palliative care, elderly care, NCD follow-up, oncology follow-up, post-discharge monitoring, disability care, rehabilitation, and other programs that depend on continuity outside the facility.

Home Care Grid FAQ
Open palliative care infrastructure, explained plainly.
What is CARE Home Care Grid?
CARE Home Care Grid is the CARE-powered operating layer for home-based and community-based care programs. It supports patient registration, care-team assignment, home visits, structured documentation, follow-ups, referrals, dashboards, and program visibility.
Is CARE only for palliative care?
No. The same CARE Core primitives can support palliative care, elderly care, NCD follow-up, post-discharge follow-up, oncology follow-up, disability and rehabilitation programs, and other longitudinal community-care workflows.
How does CARE support field teams?
CARE gives field teams mobile-first workflows for visit lists, assessments, notes, symptoms, vitals, medicine needs, caregiver concerns, follow-up dates, and escalation requests, while keeping the patient record connected to facilities and program dashboards.
How is Kerala relevant to this page?
Kerala is the reference deployment that shows the model at population scale. The page focuses on CARE as reusable infrastructure, with Kerala used as proof that home-based care can be coordinated through a shared digital grid.
Can implementation partners deploy a Home Care Grid?
Yes. CARE provides the open core, workflows, APIs, forms, roles, dashboards, and implementation patterns. Partners can localize the care model, train users, integrate local systems, and contribute improvements back to the shared core.
