S/2 E/11 - Tara Hamberger - The Weight of Waiting - Caregiving, Systems, and Learning To Love Differently
HOST: Jess Villegas, ACUITY Business Consulting Tara Hamberger is the Founder & CEO of RootedCare+, an AI-native, SMS-first care coordination platform supporting care recipients and the caregivers who stand beside them. A developer and technologist with 14+ years building systems for nonprofits and healthcare organizations, Tara built the RootedCare+ platform herself — including Roo, an AI care companion, and RootedMemory™, a patent-pending context engine that turns everyday text conversations into care intelligence, surfacing risk and social needs like housing, food, and isolation. The platform grew out of Tara's own caregiving experience with her grandmother and now powers rural health programs across multiple states.
