The idea for the platform came out of a doctor's own failures in medicine.
A 2017 meta-analysis looking at nearly 800,000 Americans found that only 36.7 percent had an advance directive.
Caring Advocates is a program specifically for those who have dementia or Alzheimer's.
Apple’s Health App has a place to store directives, and anyone can use their phone to record a video outlining how they want to be treated.
