PeerCare is a model of peer support in which the people are connected into peer-to-peer care circles. Elders and people of all ages living with disabilities can become community assets who are capable of expanding the care workforce to meet the needs of our aging population. PeerCare engages elders to positively impact their longevity and social determinants of health by expanding their social support networks to tackle loneliness and promote relationships based on mutual aid, trust and camaraderie. It provides social incentives that improve healthy behaviors like diet and medication adherence to reduce suffering, preventable disease, emergency room and hospital admissions.

TeleCare is the use of technologies such as remote monitoring and emergency alerts to enable elders and people of all ages living with disabilities and chronic conditions to receive care at home so that they can live independently.

A TimeBank is a method of social networking based on the mutual exchange of human capital assets. Compensation is provided using time credits deposited into people’s TimeBank accounts. TimeBanking engages reciprocity as people exchange services to meet their social and health needs through mutual aid activities that improve mental and physical health by addressing the social determinants of health.

The CareBank integrates TeleCare with a TimeBank into a PeerCare Platform that rewards mutual aid through service exchanges between people to help them help each other live interdependently and age-in-place safely. The CareBank App connects people to exchange PeerCare by providing real-time alerts and automatic time credits for mutual monitoring and response services. It empowers people to help save lives by detecting problems before they become emergencies, and money, by rewarding people with time credits for providing PeerCare services from the comfort of home.
