App for carers in West Yorkshire launching in early 2025

Care Networx, a technology company, has signed a deal with NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) to bring a new carers app to 250,000 unpaid carers in West Yorkshire. 

Launching in early 2025, the carers app will provide proactive support to unpaid carers and help streamline care processes. From uploading important health and legal files, to helping manage household bills and medication, users will be able to securely access and manage vital health and care information from their device. 

Care Networx has also built in a Contingency Plan function, uniquely developed for West Yorkshire ICB. This plan will link to the Yorkshire and Humber Care Record (YHCR) to allow professionals to enact contingency plans in the unexpected absence of the carer.
