The JodaCare app from 2016 is still running!
The original app, first released in 2016 and upgraded in 2018, remains in full operation while we build the new JodaCare.

Kristil Erla Håland, founder and CEO
When my mother developed dementia, I saw how hard it was to coordinate her everyday life. Home care did not know what the family had planned. My siblings did not know what staff had done. And Mum lost the thread of her own day.
JodaCare was created because I wanted to give my mother dignity. Through photos and dialogue she could remember who had visited, what she had done, and feel seen and cared for.
JodaCare has been used by the municipalities of Horten, Lier and Oslo and others. Fyresdal is the first municipality on the new JodaCare. The core is the same: to create safety, dignity and continuity for vulnerable people and those who care for them.
There are two of us building JodaCare. One knows the everyday life of families and municipalities, the other builds the systems that keep what they share safe.
Founder and CEO
Kristil founded JodaCare in 2016 after coordinating everyday life for her mother, who developed dementia. She has followed the platform through all its years in Norwegian municipalities, from the first users until today.
She is product owner for the new JodaCare and talks directly with the families and municipalities who use it. What they tell her becomes what gets built.
Co-founder and backend architect
Bård has built secure systems for more than twenty years. He joined JodaCare as co-founder in August 2026 and is rebuilding JodaCare from the ground up.
He is responsible for the data model, access control and security, and for moving existing customers safely to the new platform. He also wrote the access scenarios that must pass before anyone is moved.
Our vision is to strengthen human dignity for people with dementia and intellectual disabilities, and their relationships with health professionals and their own families. By giving this vulnerable group coherence in life, we see that it brings calm for everyone involved.
