Our founding story
Candice Smith stepped into the role of caregiver unexpectedly to care for her father as he approached the end of his life.
Like others in her situation, she had no previous caregiving experience and was quickly overwhelmed by the emotional and physical demands of the role.
And while her initial foray into caregiving was driven by her father's needs, it gradually evolved from personal struggle to a vision of support and empathy.
Candice's experience – intense, overwhelming, yet deeply transformative – became the spark that ignited Caregiven.
Her vision, now shared, supported and enriched by many caregivers, each with their own journeys, experiences and personal meaning, has created a resource that's not just about practical tools, but deeply attuned to supporting the mental and emotional demands of caregiving.
The Caregiven app story
Born from the experience of former caregivers, the Caregiven app embodies their collective desire to create an empathetic resource that didn't exist during their own caregiving experiences.
Founding Vision:
Launched in 2019, Caregiven emerged during the rise of Care Tech—a term coined by AARP for innovations aiding unpaid caregivers. Caregiven launched at the height of the pandemic in April 2021, providing support to increasingly common remote caregiving situations.
Global Recognition:
Celebrated worldwide for its innovative support and design, earning accolades from AARP, Aging 2.0, CareFactor, and the Zurich Innovation Championship.
Startup Accolade:
Named 2021 Startup of the Year by the Technology Association of Oregon.
Strategic Partnership:
In 2022, Caregiven was acquired by Veratrus Health, a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta Dental of Iowa. As a not-for-profit insurance company, Delta Dental of Iowa gives back to the communities they serve. Since 2002, Delta Dental of Iowa has committed $62 million to improve access to health and wellness resources.
