The global caregiving crisis is accelerating as longer lifespans, rising chronic illness, and a shrinking caregiver workforce converge. Older adults are particularly vulnerable to unsafe medication practices: nearly half take five or more medications, and up to one-quarter of hospitalizations are associated with adverse drug events.

WD-Home (founded in 2024) creates caregiver-centered technology designed to make medication management safer, simpler, and more coordinated. Its solutions—MedView, an electronic medication administration record (eMAR) for assisted living, and the WD-Home Caregiver App for families—integrate the BEERS Criteria to flag potentially inappropriate medications and generate intuitive drug-safety reports.

HITLAB conducted an independent evaluation of WD-Home’s web platforms and mobile application to assess usability, functionality, and both clinical and economic impact through a drug-safety analysis. Findings show that medication-related spending was highest among Medicaid and Medicare populations, with males and younger residents (<70 years) experiencing greater Medicaid costs.
