Charu Ramanathan's Company Details
Caring for a child with a disability or special needs is a lifelong parenting journey, full of ups and downs. Today, each American family coordinates a fragmented care landscape of 5+ resources between the public schools and the healthcare system. Caregivers are 3X at risk for behavioral health and chronic diseases. Over 45% of caregivers leave the workforce and the rest need workplace accommodations. Vitalxchange is reimagining special needs caregiver support through its tech-enabled managed services marketplace platform for a wide range of conditions from Autism to Learning Disability. The platform (both web and mobile) is an expert system that uses proprietary technology to match parents with suitable VitalGuides - highly experienced parent mentors and special needs providers to serve as care navigators and coaches. The VitalGuides provide parents with one-on-one support, do-it-yourself solutions and recommend personalized resources on and off-platform. Vitalxchange enables parents to play a key role in their child's development and growth (vs being a bystander or feeling overwhelmed) resulting in positive outcomes for both the child and their parent.
