The Sheedy-Gibbs Family has pioneered a new web app for parents and caregivers. Any parent who raises a child with medically complex needs understands the tremendous challenge of keeping track of everything. Add to this a need to communicate care needs with others, and the difficulty intensifies. For example, if a new babysitter shows up, or a grandparent fills in over the weekend, it can be completely overwhelming to think of everything the new care provider needs to know.
T.E.A.M. Mom and Dad Ashley Gibbs and Ryan Sheedy know this challenge well. They are parents to three little boys, one with an ultra-rare genetic disorder called Costello Syndrome. They are on a mission to help simplify the complexities of the medical world for parents with a new app called mejo… a name Ryan collaborated on with his son’s Children’s Therapy TEAM therapists. The name is short for medical journal.
Mejo is designed to be a single tool that builds a medical journal customized to a child’s unique situation. The mejo app helps parents simplify, organize, and share their child’s most important medical and care information. “Most information is scattered across multiple platforms that don’t speak to the caregiver in a way that makes sense to them,” Sheedy said. “We wanted to humanize the data found in medical charts and make a child more than their diagnosis. Whether you have a medically complex child or not, mejo can help empower every parent to feel more organized and prepared.”
Through the web app, mejo allows a parent to quickly create a medical journal tailored specifically to their child. From medical conditions and allergies to fun facts that make their child unique – think “loves receiving high fives” or “has a fear of needles”-mejo pulls the important details about a child into one beautiful document that a parent can save and share quickly through a text or an email. Through carefully curated form fields, mejo is “putting me back in medicine” by helping users easily navigate their way through the health record clutter to extract what’s important and useful. In doing so, parents create a document that best tells the story of their child.
