A new diagnosis, whether rare, chronic, or life-altering can shake your world. Families often feel overwhelmed, lost in paperwork, and unsure where to begin. mejo offers a digital caregiving companion that helps families organize, understand, and advocate from day one. From building a care profile to sharing essential info with providers, mejo brings calm and clarity when everything else feels uncertain.


The First Days After Diagnosis: Chaos Meets Clarity

Receiving a new diagnosis, whether it’s epilepsy, juvenile arthritis, Costello syndrome, or something no one’s ever heard of, triggers a tidal wave of emotions and questions:


  • What do I need to do next?

  • Who do I need to tell?

  • How do I stay on top of appointments, meds, and questions?

  • How do I explain this to other family members, teachers, or caregivers?


As one mom put it:

“It felt like I was thrown into a new world with no map.”Tara S., mom of a child newly diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder


We built mejo for moments like this.
