The world faces an 11-million healthcare worker shortfall by 2030. The response has been more software. More screens. More administrative burden. I call this structural failure what it is: The CareDrain™. And I've spent 18 years building the architecture to end it.
Across six countries and conversations with dozens of care agency executives, a pattern emerges. It's not about any single problem — staffing, margins, compliance, burnout. These are five vectors of a single structural phenomenon. I call it The CareDrain™.
SaaS promised "Service." It delivered tools. When you hire a cleaning service, they clean. SaaS gives you software — then you do the work. The care industry has been paying the TangleWare™ Tax for twenty years. The alternative is Work as Services (WAS) — and I created its methodology: Autonomous Caring®.
Autonomous Caring® keeps humans in presence while admin disappears into the background. The best user interface is no user interface. The best screen is a dark screen. Through this methodology, over 100 care agencies across the USA are reclaiming up to 40% of their operational capacity — manufacturing human hours instead of administrative debt.
