CareHaven brings together everything a parent of a child with complex needs has to manage โ medications, behaviors, seizures, therapies, IEP goals, doctor appointments, and more โ in one private, beautifully organized app.
CareHaven is built for families navigating the daily complexity of caring for someone with significant medical, behavioral, or developmental needs โ from early childhood through adulthood.
Track ABA sessions, behavior patterns, AAC communication milestones, feeding therapy progress, and sensory triggers. Log IEP goal practice at home and walk into every school meeting prepared with weeks of real data.
Document every seizure episode with a built-in stopwatch, type selector, post-ictal notes, and medication given. When the neurologist asks "how many in the last month?" โ you'll have the answer, down to the second.
Daily vitals logging, medication compliance tracking with refill reminders, positioning notes, skin integrity checks, and comprehensive appointment summaries. Everything a medical team needs, organized by the person who knows the patient best.
Track early communication milestones through sign language combinations, celebrate every developmental first in the Memory Book, log thyroid and cardiac vitals, and coordinate across the full DS care team โ speech, OT, PT, audiology, and more.
Medication compliance tracking with missed-dose alerts, behavior logs that distinguish between regulation and defiance, sleep pattern tracking (critical for ADHD management), and weight monitoring for stimulant effects โ all the data psychiatrists and 504 coordinators need.
CareHaven supports up to four care recipients in a single account. Track each person individually, share handoff reports between caregivers, and maintain the communication log that documents every call to insurance, every email to the care team, and every decision made.
Fourteen modules working together, all private, all on your device. Each one designed in conversation with real caregivers about what they actually needed.
A chronological log of everything that happened โ medications given, behaviors, wins, triggers, mood notes, health observations. Filterable to 1, 3, or 7 days. Tap any entry to edit or view full detail.
Real-time stopwatch, seizure type selector (tonic-clonic, absence, focal, febrile, myoclonic), post-ictal notes, rescue medication and 911 logging. PDF export for the neurologist.
Auto-compiles a 30-day summary โ medications, compliance, seizures, sleep, behaviors, vitals, IEP progress โ before every appointment. Live note-taking and audio recording during the visit. Print or email directly.
A dedicated, positive-only space for developmental milestones. First unprompted hug. First two-word combination. First day of school. With photos and full stories โ because these moments deserve more than a camera roll.
Log every dose with given/missed status, pharmacy notes, refill reminders, and AI-powered medication knowledge lookup. Weekly compliance rates calculated automatically.
Store each IEP or therapy goal with baseline, target, and current status. Log home practice sessions. Walk into every IEP meeting with weeks of documented progress from home.
Document every call to insurance, email to the school, and meeting with the care team. Date, contact, outcome, and action items โ the paper trail every caregiver is told to build but nowhere to actually keep.
A private daily check-in for the caregiver. Seven-day trend visualization. When scores are consistently low, the app gently surfaces burnout resources. Because the caregiver's wellbeing is part of the care plan.
One-tap card combining diagnoses, allergies, medications, seizure protocol, behavioral warning signs, sensory triggers, and emergency contacts in order. Built from your data. Shareable instantly to anyone who needs it.
"Red ears mean meltdown in 5 minutes." The behavioral and non-verbal signals only experienced caregivers know. Documented, shareable, and printable for every new person in your child's life.
Log bedtime, time to fall asleep, night wakings with notes, wake time, and quality rating. Seven-night trend chart. The data sleep specialists and psychiatrists actually request โ finally in one place.
Food in grams with autocomplete and UPC scan, bottle in ounces, sensory reason for refusals, and response tracking. Built on Division of Responsibility principles โ tracking acceptance without pressure.
Readable one-handed in a waiting room, during a meltdown, at 3 AM. Designed to get out of your way so you can focus on what's in front of you.
CareHaven's tracking frameworks, language, and guidance are grounded in the same methodologies your child's clinical team uses. Every feature reflects decades of peer-reviewed research on what actually works.
The most extensively researched behavioral intervention for autism spectrum disorder. CareHaven's behavior log tracks antecedents, behavior types, and consequences โ the ABCs of ABA data collection. The app distinguishes between stim behaviors (often regulatory, not problematic), tantrums/meltdowns, and positive behaviors using ABA-aligned language.

PCIT is a gold-standard parent training intervention for young children with behavioral challenges. CareHaven's behavior section emphasizes the PCIT principle that parents are the most powerful change agents in a child's life. Guidance within the app avoids clinical acronyms and uses the PCIT-informed language of "hard moments" rather than behavioral labels.

Developed by Dr. Stanley Greenspan, DIR (Developmental, Individual-difference, Relationship-based) Floortime focuses on functional emotional development and following the child's lead. CareHaven's win-tracking and milestone book emphasize developmental progression rather than age-normative comparisons โ every step is meaningful regardless of where it falls on a typical timeline.
Greenspan & Wieder (2006). Engaging Autism.
AAC encompasses all communication methods beyond speech โ including PECS, sign language, speech-generating devices, and symbol-based systems. CareHaven includes a dedicated communication method field for every care recipient, and the Communication Log and behavior sections use AAC-neutral language. The app tracks communication milestones in a way that honors all forms of expression equally.

Developed by occupational therapist A. Jean Ayres, sensory integration theory explains how the brain processes sensory information and how dysregulation occurs when processing is atypical. CareHaven's sensory profile covers all seven sensory systems (visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, gustatory, vestibular, and proprioceptive) with tendency ratings and specific notes โ directly aligned with OT assessment frameworks.

Ellyn Satter's Division of Responsibility (sDOR) establishes that the parent decides what, when, and where food is served; the child decides whether and how much to eat. CareHaven's feeding tracker tracks food acceptance, exploration, and refusal without judgment or pressure โ consistent with the sDOR approach used in feeding therapy for ARFID, SPD, and autism-related feeding differences.

PBS is a research-based framework for understanding and addressing challenging behaviors by identifying their function and modifying environmental antecedents. CareHaven's behavior log, cue guide, and regulation check-in are all designed to support functional behavior assessment โ the foundation of PBS planning. The app never characterizes behavior as intentionally manipulative.

Visual schedules, structured routines, and predictable environments are among the most evidence-supported strategies for autism and related conditions. CareHaven's Routines module is built on this principle โ a visual, time-sequenced daily schedule that can be shared with anyone caring for the person. The app's routine structure is directly compatible with TEACCH implementation.

CareHaven was designed from the ground up with the most sensitive kind of data imaginable. We made choices accordingly โ not the choices that are easy for us, but the choices that are right for you.
All care data โ medications, behaviors, diary entries, seizure logs, vitals, communication records โ is stored exclusively in your device's local storage. CareHaven's servers never receive, store, or have access to any of it.
When you create a backup file, it is encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a key derived via PBKDF2 with 310,000 iterations. The backup password is yours alone โ we cannot recover it and we never see it.
When AI features are used, the app strips all personal identifiers before any text leaves the device. Names, dates of birth, specific medications, and identifying details are removed programmatically. The AI provider receives an anonymized query, never a care record.
CareHaven is subscription-funded. There are no advertisers. No third-party tracking pixels. No data brokers. No behavioral profiling. The business model is aligned with your interests, not against them.
A four-digit PIN can lock the entire app. This matters in medical settings, school meetings, and any context where the device might be seen by others. Lock it when you hand your phone to someone else.
The app's AI search feature includes a content safety layer that blocks queries related to violence, self-harm, substance abuse, and other sensitive categories โ protecting both caregivers and the people in their care.
Each diary entry has a private/shared flag. Private entries are excluded from all handoff reports and exports. They exist only on your device, for you, for the hard days you need to write down but no one else needs to read.
CareHaven works completely offline with no account creation required to use any of its core features. Subscription management occurs separately via the website. The app itself never asks for your email or identity.
CareHaven includes AI-powered features for medication information lookup and care guidance. They are powerful, carefully constrained, and always honest about what they can and cannot do.
Medication knowledge lookup: Research a medication before asking the pharmacist. Get plain-language explanations of mechanisms, common side effects, and interaction flags โ with a built-in library of 14 common medications before any API call is made.
Behavior pattern analysis: After logging multiple behavior entries, ask "what patterns am I seeing?" The AI can identify correlations, suggest environmental adjustments, and recommend when to raise concerns with the clinical team.
Care guidance search: A full knowledge search interface covering sensory strategies, feeding approaches, sleep hygiene, regulation techniques, and more โ grounded in the same evidence base as the app's methodology section.
Privacy-first by design: Every query is stripped of personal identifiers before leaving the device. The AI provider receives an anonymized query. Your care data never leaves your device.

From families who've been using CareHaven in early access.
"The Dr. Visits feature alone is worth the subscription. I walked into Zoe's neurology appointment with a 30-day seizure log, medication compliance percentage, and sleep quality data. Her neurologist said she wished all her parents had something like this."
"I used to reconstruct the past month from memory before every psychiatry appointment. Eli's ADHD, the appetite effects, the missed doses, the behavior changes โ it was all scattered across texts and notes apps. Now it's just... there."
"The Memory Book makes me cry every time I open it. Every milestone Maya has reached โ the first time she used AAC to say 'I love you,' her cousin's reaction โ it's all there. These moments would have gotten lost in my camera roll. They don't anymore."
"Thomas's cardiac clearance day. The cardiologist cleared him fully after 5 years of monitoring. I logged it in the Memory Book in the parking lot, still shaking. That entry will be there forever. His heart is fixed, and I have it written down."
"The Communication Log is the feature I didn't know I needed. Every call to insurance, every email to the school, every IEP meeting โ documented. When the district tried to reduce ABA hours, I had 6 months of records showing exactly what I'd been told and when."
"The My Wellbeing check-in is the only place anyone has ever asked how I'm doing. It sounds small. It isn't. Seeing my own trend line โ how I was doing in March versus January โ was the first time I had actual evidence that I needed help. I got it."
