《福布斯》30 30岁以下冠军建立新机构管理软件——然后Ilya Vakhutinsky免费,个人。出生于乌克兰,Vakhutinsky搬到美国和他的家人当他一岁时,母亲成为照顾者和家庭健康助手。“我有童年的回忆她做那项工作,和她所面临的困难时,情感上,精神上和身体上,”他说。“我记得的景象和气味,她带我去的地方。我开发了一个激情,几乎罗宾Hood-mentality,想帮助护理人员。”在他的高中三年中在新泽西州,Vakhutinsky看着他的母亲成为一个家庭健康护理主管机构。他花了他夏天在办公室里与她一起工作。”这就是我学会了日常运行单独的机构,这就是激发了我创业的兴趣想要为这个空间构建技术,“Vakhutinsky说。他看到他的母亲忍受的挑战,作为一个照顾者和管理,给他留下了令人信服的相信这些挑战的解决方案是提供资源,包括更好的软件,更多的机构。最终解决方案从概念到现实Careswitch成立,一个机构管理系统建立减少机构需要不同的软件工具的数量同时也降低了软件对照顾者的学习曲线。 Turning Ideas Into Action In high school, Vakhutinsky met a kindred spirit interested in using technology to solve major problems in the healthcare system: Mark Fayngersh, his future Careswitch co-founder. The two friends each used their college years to take steps toward their eventual partnership: Ilya won a $100,000 Thiel Fellowship for what would be the first version of Careswitch, while Mark studied computer engineering at MIT. They worked together as founding members at successful mental health startup Quartet Health, and then decided to break off on their own. Their work quickly attracted attention. Careswitch was covered in Newsweek, and in 2020 Ilya and Mark received the prestigious Forbes 30 Under 30 award in health care. Over the next several years, they acquired funding from major venture capital firms; built a team that included alumni from companies like IBM, Home Care Pulse and SYNERGY HomeCare; and acquired home care software startup Rappora, which became part of the foundation for the current Careswitch platform. The first free home care software As of July 2022, Careswitch now operates on a freemium model where its agency management software is free, with the option to upgrade to its built-in payroll system. Agencies that use the free system will have everything they need to run their agency on day one, benefiting from advanced user-friendly design that Vakhutinsky believes is critical to building software caregivers can learn easily and utilize fully. “One is the idea of being caregiver-first, putting myself in the shoes of caregivers and asking what are the nitty-gritty problems that they’re dealing with and determining how we can address those in the software?” Vakhutinsky says. “A lot of stuff that is out there looks and feels like Windows ’98. We’re bringing that modern craftsman approach to building software,” he adds, emphasizing the importance of software that is intuitive, practical, and pleasing to the eye. Caring For Those Who Care In the end, Vakhutinsky wants to do for agencies what he saw his mother do for caregivers: help them care for patients. “If you take care of your caregivers, they’ll take better care of your clients,” he says. “That’s the big thing here: we hope that our tools allow the agency to put their caregivers first, ultimately saving agencies money which can be spent on staff, and ultimately earning them more money in the long run.” This article is sponsored by Careswitch.
