mejo and The Brett Boyer Foundation Launch My CHD Sidekick
Congenital heart disease, or CHD, is a heart condition people are born with. It is the most common birth defect. It affects 1 in 100 babies.
For many families, care does not stop after the first hospital stay. There are visits with more than one specialist. There are also scans, medications, and years of follow-up.
In June 2026, The Brett Boyer Foundation and mejo announced My CHD Sidekick. It is a digital care companion for people and families who manage CHD. The app costs nothing for CHD families in the United States.
What is My CHD Sidekick?
My CHD Sidekick is one place to keep care information together. Families can log symptoms and track medications. They can store important medical documents. They can also share updates with care teams and family members.
The idea is simple. Capture what matters for you or your loved one in one place. Then share the right information at the right time.
Why this partnership matters
Ellen Boyer, co-founder and president of The Brett Boyer Foundation, said:
"Families navigating congenital heart disease are managing an incredible amount of information, which can quickly become overwhelming. Consider the amount of consultations with multiple specialists, frequent imaging, and ongoing monitoring of daily life over many years. After diagnosis, staying on top of this information becomes essential to long-term outcomes. We've long felt we wanted to offer a tool to CHD families beyond our partnering hospitals. We are proud to partner with mejo to bring My CHD Sidekick to our community, giving families a way to save time and stay organized."
Bret Koncak, Co-founder & CEO of mejo, said:
"We are very excited to partner with The Brett Boyer Foundation to bring My CHD Sidekick to life. Families managing complex conditions like CHD are doing far more than the healthcare system is designed to support. Our role is to make that daily reality easier. With My CHD Sidekick, families have a single place to organize their care, track what is happening, and share the right information at the right time. This is about reducing friction, saving time, and helping families feel more confident and in control."
mejo was built by caregivers, for caregivers. We've lived it.
Who is The Brett Boyer Foundation?
The Brett Boyer Foundation helps families and funds research for children and people living with CHD. It was founded in honor of Sadie Brett Boyer.
The Foundation has funded upward of $4.8 million in CHD research across 19 institutions. It also has 11 partnering hospitals where it offers family support. The Foundation also supports the Down syndrome community. About 50% of that community is also diagnosed with CHD.
