Our Story…
Elora was born from a simple observation—caregivers are bogged down in adminis-trivia, instead of focusing on the person
We are caregivers, technologists, and health leaders who have felt the pain of navigating care for seniors, children, and clients.
We’re building Elora to reduce cognitive burden, and make caregiving easier.
