Medical tracking using the latest
technology is growing stronger every day. We believe that your senior
loved ones, while beginning to adopt technology, probably haven’t yet
gotten familiar with some great technology apps that can help them track
and improve their health and wellness.
Many of our seniors are using
smartphones in a variety of platforms whether Android, iOS or Windows
8. The platform they choose is not as important as making the most of
the apps that are currently available, though the choice of platform
will dictate the apps from which they can choose.
Research indicates that, even with the
abundance of available health monitoring apps at our fingertips, our
seniors (and even we ourselves) are still primarily using their heads or
paper to track and trend their health data.
It has been estimated that about seven
out of ten adults are tracking their health information such as weight,
diet, symptoms, physical activity, or vital statistics including blood
pressure, blood sugar and oxygenation for themselves or their senior
loved ones. Instead of using technology, they are using only their
heads.
Health Data You Can Track
- Weight
- Diet and food intake
- Activity programs and time spent exercising
- Blood pressure
- Symptoms such as headaches
- Sleep patterns
