Eleplan, a platform designed to simplify and organize caregiving, has been named the Grand Prize Winner, receiving $75,000, at the inaugural ASU Spark Center for Innovation in Learning (SCIL) Global AI Challenge. Co-Founder and CEO Amanda Lukof presented Eleplan’s work at the ASU+GSV Summit in San Diego on April 13, 2026, where winners were announced live at the event.

Led by the ASU Spark Center for Innovation in Learning in partnership with the J. Orin Edson Entrepreneurship + Innovation Institute, the Global AI Challenge highlights emerging companies building impactful solutions across AI, education, and inclusion. Selected teams receive funding, mentorship, and the opportunity to share their work on a global stage at ASU+GSV.

Eleplan is focused on solving a core challenge many caregivers face daily: managing critical information that lives across too many places. Caregiving comes with a constant flow of information to manage. Appointments, medications, provider conversations, and day-to-day notes quickly add up, often spread across different tools and places. When everything is disconnected, even simple tasks become harder than they need to be.

The platform brings everything into one connected system, turning scattered information into something organized, searchable, and securely shareable. Caregivers can access what they need wherever they are, whether they’re coordinating care across providers, managing medications, or tracking day-to-day updates. By making information easier to find and use, Eleplan helps reduce the friction that often comes with navigating care, giving families more clarity, better visibility, and the confidence to make informed decisions while supporting the overall well-being of their loved ones.

This recognition is incredibly meaningful, not just because of the validation, but because of what it represents,” said Amanda Lukof, CEO and co-founder of Eleplan. “Caregiving has been held together by people’s memories, notes, and sheer effort for far too long. We’re building the infrastructure to change that, using Al to meaningfully improve how care is delivered, and building with real families at the forefront.”

This recognition marks an important milestone for Eleplan as the company continues to grow its platform and expand its reach, with a focus on making caregiving more coordinated, accessible, and manageable in real-world settings.
