November 16, 2021

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A new app aims to connect families to loved ones who are isolated in a senior home or hospital. 

In 2018, Famileo won Louisville Healthcare CEO Council's CareTech Pitch Competition, which invites innovators from around the world to compete for access to LHCC member companies and paid testing pilots. 

Famileo, which was first launched in France, helps senior connect with their loved one through a customized "family newspaper."

One of the founders created the tool to keep in touch with his grandmother Elisabeth. 

Famileo finished its first pilot with patients in Signature and Triology Health Services facilities in Louisville.
