Wynter Johnson | Why digital health fails without caregivers and how to build apps for them

The caregiving crisis is hidden in plain sight. 53 million Americans are unpaid caregivers, 60% are burnt out, and women spend an average of $24,000 over two years caring for loved ones. But what if technology could actually help? Guest: Wynter Johnson, President & Co-Founder at Caily Wynter brings a unique perspective to healthcare technology—she's building solutions not just for patients, but for the millions of family caregivers who coordinate care, manage medications, and provide daily support while juggling their own careers and families. Key insights from our conversation: 👉🏻 The Hidden Caregiver Crisis Wynter reveals the staggering scope of family caregiving in America and why traditional healthcare tech ignores this massive population. Many caregivers don't even realize they're caregivers until they're deep in crisis mode. 👉🏻 From Spreadsheets to Streamlined Care Instead of asking families to juggle multiple apps for medication, scheduling, and communication, Caily provides one central hub where care circles can coordinate everything from daily check-ins to emergency situations. 👉🏻 Building WITH Seniors, Not Just FOR Them Wynter shares fascinating insights from testing with older adults—including the breakthrough moment when they realized the app needed two different interfaces based on tech comfort levels. 👉🏻 The Development Partner Decision After evaluating 60+ potential partners and meeting with 14 teams globally, Wynter explains why specialized healthcare expertise made all the difference in building a platform that's both user-friendly and HIPAA-compliant. 00:00 Introduction to Wynter Johnson and Caily 01:00 The "Aha!"
