She’s in her seventies, in Chennai. I’m in Texas. She didn’t want to bother me, so she didn’t mention the fall on our daily WhatsApp call. Her neighbour told my sister. My sister told me. By then she was already walking — which was the only reason I learned at all.
I spent the next year building exactly what I wished I had — one place where my sister, my mother’s caregiver, her cardiologist, and I could see the same picture. The same year, I sat with administrators of two assisted-living facilities in Chennai who were running the same problem at scale: trained staff collecting careful data, families across continents who couldn’t see any of it.
ANSR is built for both. We started where my family lives — between Chennai and Texas — because that’s the gap I was trying to close. But this conversation isn’t Indian or American. Families in London, Singapore, Toronto, Dubai, Sydney are having the same one. If you’ve had a version of it — with yourself, your siblings, or the families of the residents you care for, wherever in the world that is — write to me at hello@ansrhealthai.com. I read every note personally.
