Help Seniors Live Better with Developed eSeniorCare New App
A team of researchers has made technology meet the society by coming up with a new app that can help seniors live healthier. The new technological solution developed by the University of Notre Dame researchers is intended at enhancing the physical health, vitality and brain fitness of seniors residing in independent living communities.
One of the conventional challenges of these communities is how caretakers and nurses can provide support in surroundings where they have lots of patients. Unlike many available apps for seniors that merely track data, this app, called eSeniorCare, creates a custom-made socio ecological construct around the senior.
It not only helps allow and connect the seniors, but also provides a continuity of care allowing health workers to proactively extend to at risk seniors when they need assistance, while still allowing them to maintain their independence. Seniors can attach with care providers by transfer concerns and questions as text or voice recordings.
