What this screen will not do

WaitNothing here calls a server. It is built into the app and opens in well under two seconds on the slowest phone we support.
AskNo sign-in, no payment, no subscription. An unpaid bill never closes an emergency route.
MoveThe order of those six rows is fixed. It cannot be reordered, hidden, feature-flagged or A/B tested.
ReplaceCareBridge is not a substitute for emergency services. Calling 911 is always the first and largest option.

While you wait for help

  1. Stay with the person. Do not leave them alone to look for things.
  2. Unlock the front door and turn on an outside light so the crew can find you.
  3. If they are awake, sit them upright and loosen tight clothing at the neck.
  4. If they are not breathing normally, start chest compressions — push hard and fast in the centre of the chest, about twice a second, and do not stop until the crew takes over.
  5. Put their medicines, or a photograph of them, by the door.
ChokingIf they cannot cough, speak or breathe: five sharp blows between the shoulder blades, then five abdominal thrusts. Repeat.
Heavy bleedingPress hard on the wound with a cloth and keep pressing. Do not lift it to look.
SeizureDo not hold them down and do not put anything in their mouth. Move furniture away and time it.
Very low blood sugarIf they can swallow safely, give something sugary. If they cannot, do not put anything in their mouth.

Emergency departments near you

Distances are from 4118 Woodlake Terrace. Wait times are published by each hospital and were last updated at 8:12 AM this morning.

Tell them you are coming

Pre-registering sends Margaret's identity, allergies, conditions, current medicines and her last three results to the emergency department before you arrive. Triage can start reading before she is through the door, and you do not have to remember any of it while you are frightened.

Check what would be sent

Getting there

By carAbout 9 minutes at this time of day. Emergency parking is free for the first four hours.
EntranceThe emergency entrance is on the north side, off Medical Parkway — not the main lobby.
Do not drive ifYou are the one who is unwell, or the person with you may lose consciousness. Call 911 instead.

Helplines

All of these are free, open around the clock unless stated, and answered by people trained for that particular call. None of them charge you, and none of them need you to be a CareBridge member.

If someone is in danger right now

A helpline is for advice and support. If someone has taken an overdose, is bleeding, has stopped breathing, or is about to hurt themselves or someone else, call 911 first and the helpline afterwards.

Other ways to reach them

TextEvery line here also takes text messages, if talking is hard or unsafe.
InterpretersOver 200 languages, connected within about a minute. Ask for the language by name.
Deaf and hard of hearingVideo relay and teletypewriter services are available on every line.
PrivacyCalling a helpline from CareBridge is not recorded in your health record and is never used for marketing or reminders.

Medical ID

This opens without unlocking the phone and works with no signal. Choose whose ID you need — in an emergency it is rarely your own.

How this is used

On the phoneReachable from the lock screen. No passcode, no account, no network.
By an ambulance crewSent to the crew the moment you book an ambulance, so they read it on the way.
At an emergency departmentSent ahead if you pre-register, so triage is not guessing.
NeverShared with anyone else, used for marketing, or shown in a notification.

Keep it right

A medical ID that is out of date is worse than none at all, because a crew will act on it. We ask you to check it every six months and after any change of medicine.

An ambulance is on the way

Unit A-12 accepted the call at 8:07 AM and is expected at 4118 Woodlake Terrace at about 8:14 AM. Stay with Margaret. Do not drive her yourself.

Call the crew
What happens next. The crew has already read Margaret's medical ID, so they know about the penicillin allergy before they knock. Cedar Park Medical Center has been told she is coming and has opened a record. Daniel Reyes has been messaged because you allowed that in the privacy centre. If the crew is delayed by more than three minutes, this screen tells you and dispatch calls you — you will not be left watching a stale estimate.

Do this now

  1. Unlock the front door and switch on the porch light.
  2. Put a chair by the door and sit Margaret in it if she can walk that far. If she cannot, leave her where she is.
  3. Shut the dog in another room.
  4. Put her tablets and her Meridian card by the door.
If she stops responding, call 911 Do not wait for the ambulance to arrive

Care programmes

A programme is a plan with a named doctor attached to it, running for a fixed length of time. Everything included is listed before you join, and you can leave at any point without giving a reason.

Margaret is already in the diabetes programme

Month 4 of 6, led by Dr Amara Bishop. Her next review is on Friday 21 August at 9:45 AM.

Open her plan

How joining works

You ask, or a doctor suggests it

Either way it is your decision, and nothing starts until you say so.

A doctor reviews whether it suits you

Usually within two working days. If a programme is not right for you they say so and suggest what is, rather than taking the money.

Your plan is written

Goals, how often you are seen, which tests and when, your medicines, and what to measure at home.

Appointments and tests are booked for the whole run

You confirm each one. Nothing is booked behind your back.

What a programme is not

Not a scoreNothing in a programme is graded, ranked or compared with anyone else.
Not a streakMissing a task loses you nothing. The screen offers you a way back, not a scolding.
Not a lock-inYou can pause or leave at any point and keep every record and result.
Not automatic billingYou are charged monthly and told three days before each charge.

Margaret's care plan

Diabetes programme, month 4 of 6, led by Dr Amara Bishop. This is the whole plan in one place — what you are aiming at, who you see, what gets tested, and what to take.

Margaret Reyes
72 · mother-in-law · type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure · plan written 12 April 2026
Penicillin allergy

What you are aiming at

Average blood sugar over three months 6.8 %
Below the programme target Target 7.0 % · usual range 4.0–5.6 %

This is the HbA1c test. It was 8.4 % when the programme started in August last year. Dr Bishop is not asking for it to go lower than this.

Blood pressure, upper number 133 mmHg
Close to target Target below 130 · usual range 90–120 mmHg

Averaged over the last seven mornings. Her amlodipine went up to 10 mg on 13 August and it usually takes about three weeks to show.

Walking 4 days a week
Doing what was agreed Agreed: 20 minutes on most days

Margaret set this one herself at the first appointment. It is not counted, timed or verified — she tells the team how it is going.

Weight 166.8 lb
No target set

Recorded so the team can see changes, not because there is a number to reach. There is no weight target in this plan.

Since the programme started

Margaret's HbA1c has come down from 8.4 % to 6.8 % over twelve months, and her blood pressure has come down about 15 mmHg over the last week since the amlodipine change. Dr Bishop's note from 12 August reads: “Doing well. No change to treatment. Review in three months.”

Medicines and pregnancy

Every prescription written for you is checked against pregnancy and breastfeeding safety before it is signed — including ones written by a doctor in another department who may not know.

See what you are taking

Health check packages

A package is a set of tests done in one visit, with one preparation to follow and one report at the end. Every test in every package is listed — nothing is described as “and more”.

Before you book

FastingMost packages need 10 hours with nothing but water. The preparation sheet arrives as soon as you book, and again the evening before.
At homeBlood can be taken at your house by Summit Diagnostic Labs for $18 extra. Scans and heart tests need a centre visit.
The reportOne consolidated report, usually within 48 hours, with anything unusual at the top and a plain explanation of what to do about it.
InsuranceRoutine screening is often not covered. We check with Meridian before you pay and tell you either way — you will not find out at billing.

Not sure which one

Answer nine questions about age, family history, smoking, blood pressure and weight, and a doctor — not an algorithm alone — recommends which screening you actually need. Some people are told they need none, and that is a legitimate answer.

Takes about four minutes. Nothing is booked or charged at the end of it.

Vaccinations

Everyone in the household, following the schedule published for the United States. Anything overdue is still worth having — none of these expire.

Certificates

Each completed vaccination has a certificate with the vaccine, the batch number, the manufacturer, where it was given and who gave it — the format schools and employers ask for. Download one, or the whole household as a single file.

If something went wrong afterwards

A sore arm and a day of feeling tired are common and expected. Anything beyond that — a rash, a fever above 102 °F, swelling of the face or throat, or anything that worried you — should be reported so a clinician reviews it and it goes into the national record.

Taking a good blood pressure

  1. Sit still for five minutes first. No coffee, no cigarette, no rush.
  2. Feet flat on the floor, back supported, legs uncrossed.
  3. Bare arm resting on a table, cuff level with the heart.
  4. Do not talk while it inflates.
  5. Take two readings a minute apart and record the second one.

A reading taken the wrong way is worse than no reading, because a doctor will act on it.

How pricing works

Every price you see is what you would actually pay, with Meridian Health Plan already applied. No service is bookable here without a price or an honest estimate.

A worked example

An in-person cardiology consultation at Cedar Park Medical Center, for Margaret, on her current plan.

Consultation, 30 minutes$165.00
Facility fee$22.00
Allowed amount agreed with Meridian$154.00
Meridian pays 80 % of the allowed amount−$123.20
What you pay$63.80

This is the number shown on the booking screen — not the $165.00 list price, and not a range.

The five things that change what you pay

DeductibleThe amount you cover yourself each year before the plan starts paying. Margaret met hers on 22 May 2026, so it no longer applies.
CoinsuranceYour share after the deductible. On this plan it is 20 % of the allowed amount.
CopayA flat fee for some visit types instead of coinsurance. Primary care is $25 on this plan.
In or out of networkEvery facility in this app is in network for Meridian. If one ever is not, we say so before you choose it, not after.
Out-of-pocket maximum$3,200 a year. Past that, covered care costs you nothing for the rest of the year. Margaret is at $1,146.

When an estimate can move

An estimate is honest, not a guarantee. Three things change it, and each one is told to you at the time rather than turning up on the bill:

Extra testsIf the doctor orders something during the visit, you see its price before it is ordered.
Longer visitA consultation that runs into a longer billing band is confirmed with you first.
Insurer decisionIf Meridian settles a claim differently from the estimate, we show the difference and why — and it has gone in your favour on your last two bills.

Hello — Margaret's blood test came through on Tuesday and there's a note saying one of the numbers is above the usual range. Should we move her appointment earlier?
9:12 AM
Morning Amanda. I've checked with the clinic. Dr Bishop has already seen that result and left a note on the record — she's happy for the review to stay on Friday 21 August.
9:41 AM
If Margaret feels unwell before then, or her home readings go above 180, call us on (512) 555-0142 and we'll bring the appointment forward the same day. That's a standing offer, you don't need to explain yourself.
9:42 AM
That's reassuring, thank you. One more thing — the blood draw at home is booked for 7:30 AM on the 21st and she can't fast that long comfortably. Can it be any earlier?
9:55 AM
Bridget Nolan is the phlebotomist that morning and her first slot is 7:00 AM. I've asked her to swap you into it. You'll get a confirmation once she accepts — usually within the hour.

Confirmed — Bridget will be with you between 7:00 and 7:30 AM on Friday 21 August. Margaret should stop eating at 11:00 PM the night before. Water is fine, and she should take her morning tablets as normal afterwards.
8:06 AM
Perfect. And the pre-authorisation for the angiogram — is that still sitting with the insurer?
8:14 AM
Still with Meridian's medical team. They quote three working days, so we expect an answer by Tuesday 19 August. I'll message you the moment it lands, whichever way it goes — I won't wait for you to ask.
8:31 AM
This thread is not monitored around the clock and is not for emergencies. If someone is seriously unwell, call 911 or open Get help now. Nobody may read a message here until the next working morning.

About

Appearance

Everything on this screen changes the whole app immediately and is remembered on this device. Nothing here affects what a doctor sees.

Light or dark

Text size

Every size below is a supported layout, not a zoom

At the two largest sizes, rows that would otherwise truncate become stacks, tab labels give way to icons, and clamped paragraphs open out in full. Try it on the emergency hub — nothing there is allowed to clip.

Transparency

Reduce transparency Turns every frosted surface solid and flattens the background wash. Useful on a low-powered device, and for anyone who finds blur hard to read against.

Preview

Blood pressure, Margaret
Last seven days · home monitor
133/78 mmHg Close to target
Positive Caution Critical Neutral

This card is real — it uses the same tokens, the same glass and the same chart engine as the rest of the app, so what you see here is what you will get everywhere.

Accessibility

Reduced motion, higher contrast, bigger targets and twice-normal text are first-class ways to use CareBridge, not degraded ones. Every one of them is tested before release, and every one of them works on every screen.

Movement

Reduce motion Screens cross-fade instead of sliding, charts appear fully drawn, and nothing scales or bounces. Short fades stay, because they keep you oriented without any risk of nausea.
Nothing flashes Not a setting — a rule. No element in CareBridge flashes more than three times a second, at any setting, ever. Always on

Seeing

Increase contrast Stronger borders, darker text, no translucency. Body text goes past the strictest published standard rather than just meeting it.
Text size and transparencyBoth live on the appearance screen
Read charts as tables Every chart already carries a “view as table” control. Turn this on to make the table the default view instead.

Touching and typing

Larger touch targets Grows every button, row and chip to at least 48 points. Nothing in CareBridge is ever smaller than 44, even with this off.
No dragging needed Every slider, reorder and drag-to-reschedule has buttons and keys that do the same job. Not a setting — a rule. Always on
Speak a reading instead of typing it Say “one sixty-eight over eighty-two” and it is read back to you before it is saved.

If you use a screen reader

ChartsEvery chart has a real data table behind it and a one-line summary of what it shows. Points are focusable and read their value, date and where the reading came from.
Clinical valuesA number is never read without its unit and its reference range. “Six point eight per cent, usual range four to five point six” — never just “six point eight”.
Moving between screensFocus lands on the new heading, and the back control names where it goes rather than saying “back”.
Sheets and dialogsFocus is trapped inside, Escape closes them, and focus returns to whatever opened them.
Status changesAnnounced politely when they happen, and never announced twice.

Where we still fall short

Two known problems, both being worked on. Scanned documents uploaded by a patient are not always machine-readable. Some older laboratory reports arrive as images with no text behind them; we mark those clearly rather than pretending they are readable.

Last audited 4 August 2026 against WCAG 2.2 Level AA, with Level AAA for body text and the emergency screens.

Universal states

Every screen in CareBridge ships with all of these. They are shown together here because the difference between them is the point — “nothing yet” and “nothing matched your filter” are not the same screen, and treating them as one is how products end up feeling broken.

Loading

Shaped like the thing that is coming. Three report rows, not a spinner in the middle of an empty page, so the layout does not jump when the data lands. The shimmer is under twelve per cent — a breath, not a strobe — and stops entirely under reduced motion.

Empty — nothing yet

No reports yet

When a test is done, the result appears here — usually within 24 hours of the sample reaching the laboratory.

Encouraging, and it says when. Nothing has gone wrong, so nothing apologises. One illustration, one line explaining what would fill this space, one action. Never “no data”.

Empty — nothing matched

Margaret Imaging This month
Nothing matched those three filters

Margaret has four reports this month, but none of them are scans.

A different screen entirely. It names which filters are on, says what does exist behind them, and offers to clear them. The user has not run out of data — they have run out of matches.

Error

We couldn't load your reports

The connection dropped partway through. Nothing was lost and nothing was changed — try again, or carry on and come back later.

Get help

What happened, why, what to do, and a way out. Never a stack trace and never a raw code. The trace ID is a copyable row so support can find the exact request without asking the patient to describe it.

Offline

HbA1c and lipid panelMargaret · released 11 August Saved
Chest X-ray, front viewEthan · released 2 August Saved
Complete blood countAmanda · released 15 July Saved

Cached content stays readable. The banner states exactly how old the data is rather than saying “offline” and blanking the page. The emergency hub, first-aid guidance and every medical ID work fully offline and are never dimmed.

Permission denied

Sofia's records are not shared with you

Sofia is 14. From 13 onwards a young person decides for themselves who sees their record, and we cannot override that. She can grant access from her own account.

Explains the rule, not just the refusal. A blocked screen that says only “access denied” reads as a fault. This one names who decides, why, and how to ask — without implying anyone did anything wrong.

Not available in your area

Home blood draws don't reach Pflugerville yet

Summit Diagnostic Labs covers Cedar Park and Round Rock. The nearest walk-in centre to you is 7.8 miles away and takes appointments from 6:30 AM.

Names the boundary and offers the alternative. A service that does not exist here is not an error — but leaving someone at a dead end is. There is always a next-best route and a way to be told when that changes.

Maintenance

Get help nowWorking Up
Records and resultsWorking Up
Booking new appointmentsBack at about 2:00 AM Paused

Degraded, never dark. Maintenance takes down one capability at a time and says which. The emergency routes are excluded from every maintenance window by rule — they cannot be scheduled off.

And two more the system defines

Update required

Shown only when a version is genuinely unsafe to keep using — a clinical-safety fix, not a marketing release. Even then the emergency hub and every medical ID stay reachable behind it.

Not eligible

Age or eligibility restrictions say which rule applies and who can act instead, in the same tone as the permission screen above. Never a bare “not allowed”.

Every component in Aurora also ships rest, hover, focus, active, selected, disabled, read-only, light, dark, reduced-motion, reduced-transparency and twice-normal-text states. A component missing any one of them does not pass review.
