About Us

Our iHealthHome platform was designed by care managers for care managers. We know the challenges involved in coordinating home and community-based care and services and our founders set out to leverage technology and automation to encircle a senior at home with a connected virtual village.

Our story began in Honolulu, Hawaii where co-founders, former hospital administrators, Dew-Anne Langcaon and Bonnie Castonguay started a senior care navigation service called Ho’okele. Ho’okele means navigator in Hawaiian and is the revered role on a voyaging canoe held by one who navigates using the stars, ocean currents and other natural elements to guide ancient voyagers across the Pacific. For families navigating the complexities of senior health care, it can often feel like a stormy voyage with no help to guide you. Inclusion of family or ohana, is another value that drove our founders to find ways to better connect the families of their clients to be part of the care team.


However, helping seniors stay healthy and safe at home is still a highly labor-intensive, manual and paper-based endeavor and therefore very costly. We knew that infusing technology would be a necessary component for transforming the delivery of senior services at home, but the challenge was not the lack of technology, but the workflow barriers to adoption of automation by the very service providers who need it. So we focused on making technology easy to use by in-home providers of care.


We sought the expertise of technology experts in Seattle, Washington to bring our vision to reality through a new software platform company called iHealthHome. iHealthHome’s Chief Technology Officer, Dan Fredericks, joined the founding team and architected iHealthHome’s platform that is in use today.


The values of our founders guide us and Our Team is dedicated to making it easy for senior care providers to go paperless, be more efficient, support and supervise their caregivers in clients’ homes, better communicate with the entire care team the tasks that need to be performed based on a holistic plan of care, and so much more.
