Ronald McDonald House Mobile App Initiative
Our inaugural project is developing a mobile application for Ronald McDonald House Charities to help them better serve families with children receiving medical care. This app will:
- Streamline communication between families and staff
- Provide easy access to resources and support services
- Help families navigate their stay and nearby medical facilities
- Offer tools for managing appointments and medications
We're excited to work with Ronald McDonald House on this impactful project and look forward to expanding our partnerships to other nonprofits in the future.
