Our Story
Founder Anna O'Gara has a background in care and neuroscience. After supporting people with epilepsy in residential care settings during the pandemic, Anna identified two deep challenges.
First, the shock and heightened emotions while supporting the individual during a seizure, maintaining a safe environment, and communicating to colleagues meant that there were significant gaps in memory and clinical insight in written seizure records.
Second, clinicians requested specific information to accurately diagnose and prescribe for patients, often asking “can you collect a bit of video footage?”, which is easier said than done!
Carpe Care is building the all-in-one system bridging the gap between carers and clinicians.
In 95% of our meetings with epilepsy consultants, they request video footage... [Carpe Care offers] a definite benefit for prompt and effective care and treatment.
