Medavize, an Austin-based digital health company, has launched its family caregiving app on the App Store and Google Play in the US, with Orangesoft as its technology partner. The app gives families a shared Family Circle for a loved one’s medical records, medications and vitals. It was designed to meet HIPAA requirements, and its AI explains health data in plain English or Spanish while clinician-reviewed clinical rules decide what it says.
Medavize brings a person's records, medications, and vitals into a shared Family Circle, so everyone helping with care is working from the same information.
Medavize, an Austin-based digital health company, has launched its family caregiving app on the App Store and Google Play, with Orangesoft as its technology partner. Orangesoft worked alongside the Medavize team to take the product from an early prototype to a production-ready app.
"When we started, Medavize had a working prototype with minimal data integration, and our backend ran on a laptop. After partnering with Orangesoft, we built a HIPAA-compliant, scalable, cloud-based backend while developing front-end features one at a time in parallel. The engineers Orangesoft brought on have been fantastic, and the partnership has been very flexible, letting us scale resources up or down as needed."
Rene Gonzalez, Co-founder & CEO, Medavize
"Family caregivers know more about a patient's life between visits than anyone else, yet most health products are built for the patient and the clinician alone. Medavize puts the caregiver at the center, and that changes what the product has to get right. We're proud to support Rene, Frances and the team as they bring it to families across the US."
Tatsiana Kirimava, CEO & Co-Founder, Orangesoft

Why family caregivers need one shared place
63 million Americans provide ongoing care for a family member (AARP and National Alliance for Caregiving, 2025). For many of them, a loved one's health information is scattered across patient portals, paper calendars, and the notes of whoever went to the last appointment.
Medavize sees family caregivers as healthcare's invisible workforce and builds tools to help them be seen. Co-founder and CEO Rene Gonzalez learned firsthand, as his father's caregiver, how much falls through the cracks between visits.
What families can expect
- Records in one place. Records from hospital patient portals and uploaded lab reports land in one health profile, with the source shown for each item.
- Plain-language health insights. An interactive body map shows how each organ is doing, explained in plain English or Spanish.
- A shared Family Circle. Patients invite relatives, choose read-only or full access, and can change it anytime. Caregivers switch between the people they care for and message the care team.
- One medication list. Add meds by search, from imported records, or by snapping a photo of the pill bottle label. The app tracks daily doses and sends reminders.
- A view between visits. Vitals logged by hand or synced from Apple Health and Android Health Connect, plus a daily check-in for mood, symptoms, and vitals.
Built for privacy and safe use of AI
Medavize was designed to meet HIPAA requirements from the first sprint, with data encrypted at rest and in transit and caregiver access denied by default until the patient grants it. AI explains health data in simplified terms, while clinical rules, reviewed by clinicians, decide what it says.
