About CareRune
We build software for care operations: home care agencies, senior living operators, and the healthtech companies building products for them.
That's the whole focus. We're not a general software shop that also does healthcare on the side.
Why this domain, and only this domain
We started by building operations software for senior living facilities.
As our clients grew, so did what they needed. Many of them began offering in-home care — sending their own staff into clients' homes, which meant managing who was going where, what care they were delivering, and how it was all billed.
That work pulled us into home care, and the harder problems were there. Scheduling the right caregiver to the right visit. Writing care plans and tracking whether they were actually followed. Recording what happened in the home. Settling the month.
Over time it became a product of its own: a home care operations platform covering scheduling, caregiver mobile check-in, care plans, billing, and family communication. It's the same operating logic our facility software runs on, moved into someone's living room.
Building care software teaches you things a specification document can't. What a caregiver can realistically do on a phone in a parking lot. Why authorization tracking quietly costs agencies money. Why scheduling is the hardest problem in home care, and stays hard no matter how good the UI is.
That's the part we've spent years on, and it's the part we're selling.
What we've built
- Care operations systems for senior living facilities
- Home care operations platforms — scheduling, caregiver apps, billing, and family portals
- Hospital information systems covering clinical and administrative workflows end to end
Together that spans the full range of care settings: facility, home, and hospital.
Where we are today
This work has been built and deployed in China. We're early in the US market. That means we bring operational depth and engineering that has already shipped — and we don't yet bring US regulatory history or client references.
We'd rather state that plainly than have you find out on the second call. And if you'd rather see the work than read a logo wall, we'll walk you through the systems on a call.
Who you'd be working with
- 15+ people, with about half on the engineering side
- 10+ years building healthcare and care operations systems
- English working proficiency across the team, with written communication as the default
- A named point of contact on every project
Where we are, and how it works
Our team is in China. We lead with that because you'd find out anyway, and pretending otherwise wastes your time and ours.
In practice: we work UTC+8, so European mornings overlap with our afternoons and US East Coast mornings fall in our evening. Async by default, documentation written in English, and live calls scheduled inside your hours.
Four things we put in writing
You own the code
Fully, on delivery. No licence-back, no lock-in.
NDA and BAA first
Signed before any work starts, not after.
We'll tell you not to hire us
If off-the-shelf software is the right answer, we'll say so.
Bad news travels early
If a milestone is going to slip, you hear it before the deadline, not after.
