Caregiven "App Jam" Focus Group

The Oregon Translational Research and Development Institute (OTRADI) is a non-profit research and economic development organization dedicated to growing Oregon’s bioscience sector.  In 2013, OTRADI launched the Oregon Bioscience Incubator (OBI), the state’s only bioscience-specific incubator, which is now home to eighteen promising startup companies, and supports an additional 60 affiliated startups throughout the state. The OBI is filling a critical and growing need in Oregon’s expanding bioscience industry by providing labs, offices, shared equipment, essential support services, entrepreneurship programs, and mentorship for diagnostic, digital health, health IT, medical device, and therapeutics startups. Together, OTRADI and the OBI are fueling Oregon’s bioscience industry by helping to commercialize innovative research, grow successful startup companies, and create high-wage jobs in Oregon.

While this topic is often heavy on our hearts, planning and openly talking about plans are the best way to ensure that everyone is able to give and receive the care of their choosing.

<h3>About the Founder:</h3>Candice Smith

Shortly after her father was diagnosed with terminal cancer, Candice Smith decided to read his favorite book, How Green Was My Valley. The impact of Richard Llewellyn&#x27;s words when he wrote: “Men like my father cannot die. They are with me still, real in memory as they were in flesh, loving and beloved forever” changed how Candice viewed her father’s end-of-life journey and how she celebrates his memory. Inspired to change the experiences for all family caregivers, in 2017 Candice founded Caregiven, a mobile app and platform that guides users to the support and services they need by spending less time overwhelmed with administrative tasks and having more meaningful time with their loved one. When she’s not advocating for how individuals, societies and cultures think and approach informal caregiving, she’s celebrating living in the Pacific NW with her husband, two children, family and friends.
