Apps For Carers Of Seniors Living Remotely
Mobile apps can be an effective tool to help care for an elderly person who lives away or remote from the carer. Here are some ways mobile apps can assist with distance-caregiving:
- Communication: Mobile apps can facilitate communication between the elderly person and their caregiver, family members, or friends. Video conferencing apps like Zoom or FaceTime can allow the elderly person to see and talk to their loved ones, even if they are far away.
- Medication management: There are mobile apps available that can help manage medication schedules, including reminders for when it's time to take medication, the dosage, and the frequency.
- Emergency response: Mobile apps can provide immediate access to emergency response services, such as medical alert systems that can detect falls or other emergencies and alert caregivers or emergency services.
- Wellness monitoring: Apps can be used to monitor the elderly person's physical activity, sleep patterns, and other vital signs. This can help caregivers and healthcare providers track the elderly person's health status and identify potential health issues.
- Grocery and meal delivery: There are apps available that allow caregivers to track and monitor groceries and meals for the elderly person, which can be especially helpful if the elderly person is unable to leave their home.
- Transportation: Mobile apps can help arrange transportation services for the elderly person, such as scheduling rides to medical appointments or social activities.
- Visitors: Mobile apps can help track and log visitors to the elderly person.
- Home safety and security: Mobile apps can help monitor the elderly person's home for safety and security, such as remote access to home security cameras or monitoring devices that detect smoke or carbon monoxide.
The CHUFFTY APP has many features built in to support carers in monitoring and supporting seniors and others who need help while living independently or remotely as described further below...
The CHUFFTY APP is one such mobile app.
Supporting independent living for an elderly person, or a person with special needs, can be time consuming.
You may have other commitments and priorities, this is why the CHUFFTY APP was developed.
The APP provides a sense independence to the individual, yet provides visibility to the carer (and family) as to the current wellness state of that individual.
Key Features Include
IHCT also produces physical monitoring devices you can place around the home which will detect movement and allow interaction - Visit the CHUFFTY Motion Sensors Site Here
