1. What Is PicnicHealth & Why Do I Need It? Alzheimer's Caregivers 36:41

We all likely have a story about how our medical records are incomplete, not regularly reviewed by our doctor, or something else. It’s beyond frustrating that in addition to managing ourselves, we also have to manage and advocate for the proper medical care. PicnicHealth takes care of our medical documents in a way that works for our doctors and us.

In this bonus episode, I talk to Brittany Drier about PicnicHealth and how they were created to help caregivers and patients.

When CEO and co-founder Noga Leviner was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease, she assumed her doctors would keep a complete, updated file of her medical records and keep each other up to date on her condition. Nope. Instead of focusing on her health, Noga had to fill out request forms, wait in lines, and make dozens of calls to get her records finally.

In January 2014, Noga co-founded PicnicHealth to fix this broken system and help patients take complete ownership of their health.

Additionally, PicnicHealth members can opt-in to have their records annoyomouized and sent to researchers, giving them access to data they would unlikely have otherwise.

After helping care for her grandmother who had vascular dementia, Jennifer realized her Mother was showing signs of early onset Alzheimer’s. After the death of her father in 2017 Jennifer went searching for answers to many of the common questions and Alzheimer’s caregiver faces. Being a busy entrepreneur Jennifer realized that a podcast would be the easiest way to learn more about caregiving while completing other tasks.

Sadly, in late 2017 she only found one and it didn’t quite address what she was looking for, so she did the next best thing, and started her own. The Fading Memories podcast is now in it’s fourth year and despite the death of her Mom in March 2020, Jennifer is still talking to caregivers and still learning how to be an excellent caregiver. On the podcast she discusses caregiving, brain health, self-care and how to age well.
