A place to store your end-of-life wishes
When people over 65 end up in the hospital, about half of them eventually need someone else in the family to make decisions for them—End of life decisions. Still, only a small percentage of people—under 30 percent in the U.S.—have written advanced directives.
Tech entrepreneurs are trying to change that by creating apps and online databases to store and edit end-of-life wishes. Scott Brown and Jeff Zucker started one such company, called My Directives. It’s a web-based system they hope will become a sort of Facebook of advance directives.
