My First Prd: Defining The Future Of Ai-driven Caregiving

Another week, another milestone! To everyone who’s been following my journey, THANK YOU! Your engagement, feedback, and encouragement mean the world. Last week, we dove into user and use case prioritization, and now it’s time to take the next big step—my first Product Requirements Document (PRD) for CareHaven!

What is CareHaven?

For those new here, CareHaven is my AI-driven caregiving platform designed to improve the lives of elderly individuals, disabled people, and children with special needs. It’s built to address medication mismanagement, caregiver training gaps, social isolation, and the lack of real-time emergency support—all through the power of AI.

Writing My First PRD: Where Strategy Meets Execution

Creating this PRD was an intense yet rewarding experience. This is where ideas get structured, where every feature has a purpose, and where product goals align with user needs. Here’s a quick breakdown:

The Problem We’re Solving

Caregivers face major challenges that impact the quality of care they provide. These include:

Medication mismanagement (missed doses, incorrect prescriptions, lack of reminders).

Limited real-time support (caregivers not having immediate access to medical guidance in emergencies).

Caregiver training gaps (inadequate preparation, lack of mental health support).

Social isolation and stigmatization (especially for disabled individuals and special needs children).

Goals of CareHaven

Enhance caregiving efficiency through AI-driven tools.

Provide real-time emergency support via AI-powered chatbots.

Improve medication adherence through tracking and smart reminders.

Build a supportive caregiving community via AI-driven engagement.

Offer scalable training to help caregivers provide top-tier support.

Who Are We Helping?

CareHaven is designed for:

Professional Caregivers who need real-time support.

Family Caregivers managing loved ones’ health.

Parents of Special Needs Children looking for inclusive solutions.

Caregiving Agencies aiming to improve staff training.

Elderly Individuals who need better health monitoring.

Challenges I Faced Writing My First PRD
Writing this PRD wasn’t a walk in the park. Here are some of the biggest challenges I faced:

Structuring the document properly – I had to learn how to logically arrange the problem, goals, and features without overwhelming the reader.

Fighting the urge for perfection – I wanted everything to be perfect, but I realized that product management is all about continuous iteration and refinement.

Scoping the MVP correctly – It was tempting to add too many features at once, but I had to focus on what truly mattered for the first version.

Ensuring clarity for all stakeholders – Writing a PRD isn’t just about listing features; it’s about making sure developers, designers, and business teams all understand the vision.

Through this process, I’ve learned that done is better than perfect, and iteration is the key to great product management.

Measuring Success

• Reduced Medication Errors – By ensuring adherence through AI tracking.
• Faster Emergency Responses – By equipping caregivers with real-time AI assistance.
• Higher Caregiver Satisfaction – Measured through training completion and engagement rates.
• Increased Community Participation – More active discussions and shared experiences within the platform.

What’s Next?
With my PRD drafted, the next step is bringing it to life visually! I’ll be building my first wireframes and mockups—and the exciting part? I’ll be using AI-powered design tools to make the process smoother and faster. Can’t wait to share that journey with you all next week!
