Are you 18 or older and helping care for an elder?
We'd like to hear from you.
The Elderella Elder Care Study is funded by the Centre for Aging + Brain Health Innovation (CABHI), powered by Baycrest. Participants get free access to the Premium version of Elderella for a full year and shape what we build next.
The study isn't accepting participants just yet — enrollment opens soon. Leave your name and email below and we'll let you know the moment it does.

What the study involves
Use Elderella with your family
Free access to Elderella Premium for a full year. Elderella captures your elder's care details so nothing gets forgotten, and helps you build a care team that sees only what you choose to share.
Share your experience
We want to understand how Elderella fits into your life. What's helping, what's missing, and what would make the biggest difference.
Shape what gets built
Your feedback directly influences what comes next; the features we build, the problems we tackle. Your experience informs every decision.
Be part of something bigger
Help prove that better tools make a real difference for families managing elder care. What you share will shape how caregivers are supported.
What we're asking of you
Everything fits around your schedule — a short onboarding call, four short surveys and, for some participants, an end-of-study conversation.
Required
- Use Elderella as part of your caregiving through November 30, 2026.
- Book a 15-minute onboarding call with our team when you sign up. We'll walk you through getting started and answer any questions.
- Complete four short surveys: a baseline when you enroll (~20 minutes), a check-in two days later (~10 minutes), a midpoint survey in September (~10 minutes), and a final survey in November (~20 minutes).
If invited
- Have an end-of-study conversation (~30 minutes, November 2026). We'll invite a small number of participants to share what changed and what worked for them. We'll let you know if you're selected.
How we'll use what you share
Your survey responses and conversation notes help us understand how Elderella works for real families.
- We report aggregated, anonymized findings to CABHI (our funder) and may include them in presentations, case studies, and white papers.
- We may use anonymized quotes from your conversations, but only with your permission (you'll have the option to give or withhold this when you sign up below).
- Your family's care details are never shared with CABHI or anyone else. What you store in Elderella stays between you and your family.
- All data is stored in Canada (Google Cloud, Montreal region) and encrypted in transit and at rest.
- Data retention: Study data is kept for 5 years after the study ends, then securely deleted.
Your privacy and rights
- All CABHI reports use aggregated or anonymized data. You will not be personally identifiable in any report, presentation, case study, or white paper.
- Elderella is not a medical device. We don't make clinical claims about treating or preventing any condition. Our work focuses on the caregiving experience and helping families stay organized, informed, and supported.
- Conversations with our team are recorded only with your permission, for internal use, so we can review what was discussed. Recordings are stored securely and are not shared outside the Elderella team.
If you change your mind
You can withdraw from the Elderella Elder Care Study at any time. No questions asked. Email [email protected].
- Your Elderella Premium access ends, but you keep full access to Elderella's Free plan.
- Data already collected (survey responses, conversation notes) may still be used in anonymized, aggregated form, but no new data will be collected from you.
- You will not be contacted for further surveys or conversations.
