Ernesto Stein

Former Representative of the Inter-American Development Bank for Mexico

"The city (Ciudad de México) has approximately one million older adults to care for, and it immediately became clear the benefits a platform like this can bring to older adults and their families. Especially since ANA Care is adapting the platform to the specific needs of the city."

Caregivers

Katia Yareli González Mosco

Caregiver

"For me, it was very surprising, almost magical, to learn about the ANA application. I remember that when I was a caregiver, everything was on paper; we didn’t have direct communication or follow-up. ANA is very innovative, it has a lot of technology, and it’s very easy to use. ANA is your eyes; it helps mediate between the caregiver and the family, providing quality service."

Arisdelcy Domínguez Márquez

Caregiver

"I have been caring for an older adult for eight years. I was afraid of studying online, but it was incredibly easy to install the app, open it, and enroll. My first course was on mobilization and transfers. I wanted to avoid hurting myself but also wanted to help my patient move. I took the course at my own pace, and I’ve already taken many other courses."

Giselle Delgado

Director of the Nursing Department at Grupo Bonanza

"Previously, we had a logbook that employees would fill out, and they would send reports via WhatsApp, which we had to review to understand the patients' conditions at home. With the ANA platform, the work has become much easier because we can monitor everything in real-time and access it anytime. Employees feel more supported because we are more attentive, and clients gain a huge added value since they, too, can monitor their patient’s condition in real-time."
