Americans are living longer today
More than any other time in our history. Family members are assuming more responsibilities for our loved ones. This is especially true for elderly family members who may be living with diabetes, heart failure or emphysema. Individuals who assume this responsibility struggle with staying informed and tire of asking their loved one to follow doctor’s instructions and keep track of their overall health status.
It is a constant challenge trying to assimilate health records for the latest blood pressure or blood sugar level measurements on paper. Did they take their medication today? Have they needed their emergency inhaler today? How can a care giver stay informed with their patient while encouraging them to live independently?
