# Care-Lo

> Care-Lo is a home care marketplace in Pakistan that connects families who need professional care at home with verified health care professionals (HCPs) who offer home-visit services. It operates as a two-sided platform: care receivers find and book professionals; care givers build profiles and manage service requests.

Care-Lo was built to make home care easier to access and easier to offer. Customers can search, compare, and chat with providers before placing a service request. Providers can set their specializations, define their service area on a map, upload verification documents, and receive real-time booking notifications.
