8 Best Patient Health Tracking Apps for Doctors

When doctors see patients, it often takes several minutes to get up-to-date information on how the patient is doing and what tests were run beforehand as well as their condition prior to showing up to the clinic or hospital. Leafing through a chart and reading scribbled handwriting can sometimes take up some much needed time. What’s more, medical professionals often need to be near the patient in order to find and consult their file.

This being said, there are many apps that allow doctors to have a clear view of their patient’s medical history at the touch of a button and from anywhere, all in a concise form and for different purposes. However, there are over 165,000 mobile health apps available, making it difficult to understand which ones are suitable for medical professionals, and which of these are actually beneficial for doctors when tracking patient information.

We have skimmed and compiled the best patient health tracking apps for medical professionals. Here are the top 8 apps:

1. Cerner Physician Express II

With a physician rating of more than 4 stars, Cerner’s Physician Express II is a great tool that complements a physician’s workflow. Clinical staff can look up patients by name or from a list and access their allergies, diagnosis, problems, medications, vitals and more. It’s a great way to quickly review clinical information.

2. Allscripts Remote+

This app allows healthcare professionals to consult their Allscripts EHR from anywhere on the go. It provides physicians with a way to accurately make decisions when they are away from the hospital and on-call or on personal time by having access to real-time patient summary info, ePrescribing, access to task lists such as lab results and more.

3. Epic Haiku

This app provides medical professionals with hospital patient lists, health summaries, clinical schedules, test results and a section to type in notes. It allows clinical staff to see a patient’s current medication and active problems in a clear and concise way. However, Haiku must be used with Epic’s Electronic Health Records.

4. Sunrise Mobile MD II

This app allows physicians to access Electronic Medical Records directly on their phone or tablet. Features such as patient lists and results for rounding, contact cards for communication, medication and order views for treatments and physician notes are all included in an effort to maximize physician productivity. This app is an extension to Sunrise Clinical Manager.

5. Care360 Mobile

This app is best used in a clinical office. It allows physicians and healthcare providers to place lab orders, access medication history and view lab results, write prescriptions, manage renewals and more from anywhere. They are also HIPAA compliant.

6. VitalHub Chart

The VitalHub Chart app provides clinicians with real-time access to patient information extracted from hospital EMR systems. Features include quick summary views, full patient charts, ability to review lab results, new critical results, orders and status and medication history as well as access patient demographics and allergies. As an app made for physicians, nurses, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals, the system provides different layouts to suit specific workflows.

7. AirStrip – Cardiology 

This app also has a 4 star rating by clinical users. Airstrip Cardiology provides accurate treatment diagnoses and a portable way to view and receive 12 lead ECG waveforms as well as scroll through 10 seconds while maintaining the 12 lead layout. The best feature of this app is that fact that it improves coordination between departments, especially between cardiology and emergency departments. Note that Airstrip OB is also available.

8. Allscripts Wand

This app provides clinicians with a great interface that improves workflow through comprehensive clinical updates such as vitals, patient history, and medications as well as a timeline view of patient information. The Allscripts Wand app is rated 4+ stars by healthcare professionals. The option of ePrescriptions is also available within the app.

These apps are great for helping healthcare professionals stay updated on patient information and have important documentation at hand, wherever they are.

This consolidated information is also as important to patients. In fact, a Vancouver doctor along with 3 developers created an application that allows patients to keep track of their medical information. MeKeeper is a “ personal health app that enables patients to record their medical history (i.e., conditions, medications, side effects, allergies, immunizations, lab results, and health care practitioners) in one place to ensure that clearly documented information is always readily accessible to patients and their doctors .”

Most of these patient health apps are used in a clinical setting. Using productivity tools at many levels increases patient care coordination as well as physician and staff satisfaction. Here's a guide on how to choose a patient booking solution to complement the efficiency of these applications.

How to Keep Track of Your Health Information

Methods of tracking your health range from patient portals and mobile phone apps to paper copies.

This article is based on reporting that features expert sources.

How to Track Your Health Information

In a perfect world, your health information would start following you from the moment you’re born. Every documented detail – vital signs, doctor visits, medical test results, diagnoses, prescriptions and hospital stays – would trail you like a magnificent magnetic cape, a vast health history attached to you and accessible in one convenient spot.

Unfortunately, the world has yet to develop a system capable of tracking the volumes of health data you generate. You’re left to gather it on your own from each provider, stitching together a patchwork of medical minutiae and milestones stretching across the decades.

“It can become overwhelming, and for some it’s seen as an additional burden of disease or care,” says Kelly Batista, executive director of the Brian D. Jellison Cancer Institute at Sarasota Memorial Health Care System in Florida.

How do you tackle the challenge? It boils down to four methods.

Use Patient Portals

Patient portals are secure websites that allow you to access your medical information with a particular provider – such as a doctor’s office or a hospital – 24 hours a day.

“Those portals include information about your medical history, test results and interactions with the provider. They also allow you to communicate with providers, ask questions and schedule appointments,” Batista says.

Portals also enable you to:

• View notes your doctor has written during or after your visit.
• Download copies of your medical records.
• See which medications your provider has prescribed and request refills.
• Make payments to your provider.
• Update your insurance information.
• Take part in telehealth visits (depending on the provider).

On some portals, you can even add your own health observations. “It’s a private space for consumers to document information that isn’t accessible to the care team. For example, you can say what your mood is or add information you obtained from your fitness tracker . It’s a repository where you can keep all of that information in one location,” says Rema Padman, a health care informatics, analytics and operations researcher and Trustees Professor of Management Science and Healthcare Informatics at Carnegie Mellon University .

Use Mobile Health Apps

You can also keep track of your health information with mobile health apps – applications or programs that you download to a smartphone. “There are more than 300,000 health-related apps to track walking, sleep, fitness, diet, chronic disease like diabetes and much more. These apps become useful not only to track health conditions, but also to manage day-to-day events,” Padman says. “We’re also seeing apps and wearables provided by health care providers to monitor patients at high risk for adverse events, so they can intervene early and prevent emergency visits or hospital admissions.”

Many apps enable you to access your entire patient portal, including the same information you’d find on the website version and the same ability to communicate with your medical team, schedule appointments and update information. That can be handy if you’re on the go or you’re at a doctor appointment and need to share information with a provider who doesn’t have access to it.

You may also be able to download your patient portal information to other mobile health apps, such as those that help you manage pregnancy or chronic disease. That puts even more information in one easily accessible place.

Keep Hard Copies

The old-fashioned way to track health information is with hard (paper) copies of your medical records. You’ll need to request them and then pick them up in a provider’s office or have them sent by U.S. mail.

Once you obtain paper records, it helps to keep them organized in folders, boxes or three-ring binders. “For example, a three-ring binder with tabs can easily organize a patient’s medical information in categories such as allergies, medications, diagnostic scans, and lab work. Assembling their own binder allows for patients to easily reorganize and add information as needed. A helpful addition to binders is adding a calendar, which allows patients to keep track of their upcoming appointments and events,” says Alexis Eastes, a patient navigator based in Venice, Florida.

Like health apps, you can bring hard copies of your records to doctor visits for your own reference or a doctor’s review.

Keep Soft Copies at Home

Another way to track health information is by obtaining soft copies – files that exist only on a computer screen.

These files can include copies of medical records that are provided to you by:

• A CD (an older format still commonly used in medical offices, especially for imaging tests ).

Note that health care providers are required by law to deliver records in an electronic format whenever the provider has the ability to produce that type of copy (not just if it’s company policy). You can also create your own soft copies of medical records by scanning paper records into a digital format. Once they’re scanned, name the files and organize them on your hard drive.

Still another type of soft record is a spreadsheet. Create one on your computer to help you track doctor or hospital visits (include the dates), medications, diagnoses and tests (include the results).

All soft medical records can be loaded onto a USB drive and taken to a doctor appointment for review.

Downsides to Consider

Tracking your health information can have downsides – some minor and some major.

For patient portals and mobile health apps:

• They aren’t accessible to everyone . You’re out of luck if you’re not tech-savvy or you don’t have internet access via computer or smartphone.
• They may charge fees. Some health apps charge annual or monthly subscription fees.
• They aren’t all linked. Unless all of your providers are in one large health care system, it’s unlikely they’ll be able to see information in all of your different portals and apps. “These are piecemeal solutions,” Padman says. “What you do with an app is captured there, but it’s probably not the information that your health care provider or pharmacy has.”
• They may be vulnerable to hackers. “If there’s a data breach, what are the policies to address those consequences? Would you be alerted?” Padman asks.
• They may own your information. Companies spend billions of dollars every year analyzing consumer health data, and it’s unclear which organizations do it and who cashes in on your information. “It’s a murky area,” Padman says. “What will they do with your information? Will it be distributed or sold to marketing organizations?”
• They require a little homework before use. Make sure any health app or patient portal you use is subject to federal privacy rules (it’s more likely among apps and portals from large health organizations and physician offices); proves that it can securely store your data; and states clearly that it won’t use, sell or share information without your permission.

For hard or soft copies of your medical records:

• Collecting them takes a lot of work. “We recommend that patients get a printout of their visit notes, their lab results or any other diagnostic testing before they leave the office. At least that gives them a running start,” says Betty Long, president and CEO of a nurse advocate group in Flourtown, PA.
• You may be charged for copies. Fees are allowed to cover only the cost of supplies, labor and postage.
• You may have to wait for copies. A provider has 30 days to comply with a records request, and in some cases that can be extended to 60 days.

And any type of medical record (even electronic records) can get lost or develop errors if information is entered incorrectly. Stay on top of it by regularly checking and updating your records.

Final Advice

It’s not enough to have medical records stored where you can find them; you must understand what they mean. “It’s a lot of information,” Batista says. “That’s where you have the option through portals to communicate with your provider, ask questions and get feedback. Also, in our program, patient navigators step in with education.”

No matter which method you use to track your information, experts agree that it’s worth the effort. “Everyone has a different way of consuming the data. What’s important is that you find a way that works best for you,” Batista notes. “It’s empowering you as a patient.”

Patient Rights

April 5, 2021, was the deadline for regulated actors to comply with the federal rule on  Interoperability, Information Blocking , mandated by The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology’s (ONC)  21st Century Cures Act (Cures Act). The Cures Act requires healthcare providers to share electronic health information with patients without delay or charge. Patients have the right to access, exchange, and use their electronic health information (EHI). At Patient.com, we believe the democratization of health data is critical to helping all people become better consumers of healthcare.

7 Best Medical Records Apps For Android and iOS in Case of Emergencies

What happens when you need a medical emergency? You can’t trust yourself to produce all the records yourself because you are the one in need of assistance. While, you can always digitally store all your medical records or upload to cloud services like Google Drive or Dropbox, it’s much better to have a dedicated medical records app. It can store, organize, and make it easy to share records with your doctor. They also provide added features such as tracking your insurance policies, lab reports, blood group, vaccination, allergies, and much more.

Google  discontinued Google Health  a long time ago, and  Microsoft’s Health Vault was discontinued in late 2019. So, if you are looking for alternative medical record apps, here is a list of the best medical records apps for Android and iOS users.

Medical Records Apps

1. apple health app.

Apple has been focusing on the health industry for some time now. The health app and more recently, Apple Watch with built-in cardiogram features approved by the FDA says it all. The Health app comes pre-installed on all iPhones and iPads but is not available on Android, obviously. Apple Watch users can get a cardiogram done and store that data. Other examples include wearable tech tracking sleep cycles, sugar levels in the blood, and so on.

Apple Health also monitors how active you are, and sometimes, that data can also help the doctors.

Also Read:   Best Pill Reminder Apps for Android And iOS

The Medical ID is where you will record your name, age, sex, blood group, weight, height, and contact number of a friend or relative in case of an emergency. This medical ID will be accessible from the lock screen so doctors can access it without having to unlock your phone. That would waste more time. Other details you can include are medical conditions, allergies, medications you are taking, and notes. Want to be an organ donor ? Sign up, in case you are met with an untimely death.

• Option to record name, age, sex, blood group, etc
• Syncs well with Apple Watch and maintains a record of your fitness activities
• Medical ID can be accessed from the lock screen

Like Apple Health, GenieMD is free to download and use, but unlike the former, it is available on both Android and iOS devices. Worried about data security and privacy? GenieMD is a HIPAA compliant firm which means they are required by law to maintain the privacy of records collected from patients.

The iOS app of GenieMD is currently missing from the Apple Play Store.

There is a section to record your medical histories like cholesterol, blood pressure, glucose level, BPM, and medications that you are taking and medical conditions that you might have. One neat feature is that the app will remind you to take your pills, so you never forget to pop one. You can also track when was the last time you missed your medication, useful in detecting conditions and effects on health.

One additional feature that I like is that I can also keep a record of all my doctors. In case of an emergency, the operating doctor can consult with your family doc to know more about your health history. Finally, you can set an emergency contact but the app details don’t appear on the lock screen.

• HIPAA compliant app
• Option to record your medical histories, medications, etc
• Option to set pill reminders

Download GenieMD:  Android  |  iOS

3. MTBC PHR

What’s even better than keeping records of your medical history like medications, conditions, and symptoms? A place to keep all your lab test reports. Imagine how useful will that be? MTBC PHR (Personal Health Record) is an app where you can upload and record lab reports, prescriptions, and medical conditions.

MTBC PHR is working with several health experts to let you schedule and manage appointments remotely. Have you ever claimed insurance? There is a record of all the past claims, handily available. They want to be a one-stop destination for all your medical needs like records, medications, prescriptions, appointments, reports, insurance, claims, and even payments. One of the best medical records app I have seen and tested.

I wish they had chosen an app name that was easier to remember and share with others. Overall, it’s a useful app that you need to have on your phone if you are serious about maintaining medical records on Android and iOS.

• Additional ability to store medical lab records
• Record appointments, documents, medications, etc
• Maintains a record of your medical history

Download MTBC PHR:  Android  |  iOS

An app like MTBC PHR can be too much for someone who is looking for something simpler. What if I don’t want to share so much info with these medical records apps, or simply don’t have the time or the patience? MyChart is your app. In a toned-down approach, you can track your current conditions, medications that you are taking to tackle those conditions, and appointments if any.

These data points should be enough to help the doctors help you when you reach the hospital in an emergency. There is also an option to contact your physician from within the app. MyChart is one of the better medical records app for Android and iOS smartphones in the market right now.

• Maintains a track of your blood pressure, weight, step count, etc
• Represents data in an intuitive graph

Download MyChart:  Android  |  iOS

5. My Medical

My Medical removes all the fuss and simply focuses on the medical records aspect. As such, you won’t find additional features that we earlier saw in the above apps. One key feature is the ability to maintain medical records of the entire family on a single app. Useful when someone in your family needs help and you have to produce medical records.

You can input all your medical conditions and medications here. The app will pull appointments from the calendar app if you wish. There are several templates you can use to input and save test results. One thing that you can’t do with the Apple Health app is to upload scans of important medical documents. My Medical will let you do that. It’s the only app on the list that is not free and will cost you $4.99.

• Paid app around $4.99
• Ability to maintain records of the entire family
• Automatically syncs with phone calendar to record appointments

Download My Medical:  Android  |  iOS

6. CareZone

CareZone is a medical record app for your entire family. Unlike MTBC PHR, it doesn’t let you store lab records. However, you can still store everything else from your medical prescriptions to medicines, dosage, and refill information. Instead of typing down medicine name, you can even scan your meds. Additionally, you can also set up reminders to take your meds.

My most favorite feature is the option to store multiple doctor contact information. Along with it, you can even configure your doctor’s appointment dates and refill dates. Moreover, it also lets you take quick journal notes during these appointments and keep track of your progress.

• Scan and maintain a list of medications for your entire family
• Maintain contact information and records of multiple doctors
• Upload and back up photos

Download CareZone: Android | iOS

7. CapzulePHR

Similar to CarZone, CapzulePHR is an iOS exclusive medicine recording app for your family. But, in addition to medicines, it also lets you record your blood pressure level, temperature, and weight. It maintains a graph based on these data. Additionally, it’s the only third-party app in this list that can use biometrics. Basically, you can use Face ID to lock/unlock your data.

The most novel feature is a QR Code scanner which creates a summary of your entire medical report. So, anyone with a cam scanner can get your medical summary in seconds. Moreover, the app also supports backing up data to Dropbox and Google Drive.

• Maintains a record of your medical health like blood pressure, weight, temperature, etc
• Works well with Face ID to lock your personal data within the app

Download CapzulePHR (iOS)

If you are an Apple user, Apple Health is a must even if you are using another app to maintain your medical records. It’s very popular, and probably the first app that doctors will check in case of an emergency. MTBC PHR is the most advanced and detailed medical records app that you can get that, and it’s available on both platforms. Other than that, you can try any of the other apps depending on your location and what you need it to do.

Health apps track vital health stats for millions of people, but doctors aren’t using the data – here’s how it could reduce costs and patient outcomes

Health-tracking devices and apps are becoming part of everyday life. More than 300,000 mobile phone applications claim to help with managing diverse personal health issues, from monitoring blood glucose levels to conceiving a child.

But so far the potential for health-tracking apps to improve health care has barely been tapped. While they allow a user to collect and record personal health data, and sometimes even share it with friends and family, these apps typically don’t connect that information to a patient’s digital medical chart or make it easier for health care providers to monitor or share feedback with their patients.

As a professor and a researcher in the field of operations management, my current research focuses on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of health care delivery. My colleagues and I recently published a multiyear study showing that integrating a mobile health app with ongoing medical care can significantly improve the health of patients with hypertension – a widespread, serious and potentially deadly chronic medical condition.

But it’s not easy to use health apps this way as a regular part of medical care in the U.S.

Case study: Hypertension

Hypertension, better known as high blood pressure, is one of America’s leading chronic health problems. According the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , hypertension was a primary or contributing cause to nearly half a million deaths in 2018 and affected nearly half of U.S. adults – nearly 110 million people. Left uncontrolled, high blood pressure can also permanently damage the heart and other parts of the body.

Simple changes in diet, exercise, smoking and drinking can help prevent or postpone the onset of hypertension. Once a person has high blood pressure, the focus of medical care is treatment and management. But patients typically see their doctors only three to four times a year, making it difficult for physicians to track, assess and address the root causes of their hypertension. These visits also tend to be brief, because the fee-for-service insurance payment model motivates doctors to see more patients in a given day.

Prior studies on the effectiveness of mobile health apps for self-management of hypertension were done in controlled settings in which all the participants agreed to use the app, rather than in clinical settings where patients had a choice of whether to engage with care providers using the app. We wanted to see how a hypertension patient’s use of an app played out in a real-world setting. So one of my study co-authors, a practicing endocrinologist , developed a proprietary web-based smartphone app to help monitor and treat hypertension between office visits.

Patients who received this app free of charge measured and entered their blood pressure and pulse readings. The physician reviewed these readings once a day and, if needed, recommended interventions such as new medications or changing doses of existing medications, or advised on diet and exercise. My co-author and his medical assistants weren’t paid to monitor these patients.

Patients and staff could also talk directly with one another through the app. This enabled regular communication and joint decision-making between providers and patients on how to best treat their hypertension, which in turn encouraged patients not to abandon the app after only a few uses.

In tracking the condition of 1,600 hypertension patients over the course of four years, we found that a typical app user reduced her systolic blood pressure – the upper value in a blood pressure reading, indicating the pressure while the heart muscle contracts – by 2 “millimeters of mercury,” or mmHG, compared with someone not using the app. For patients with systolic blood pressure greater than 150 mmHG, the reduction was more than 6 mmHG. These were significant decreases. A reduction of 10 mmHG in systolic blood pressure lowers overall mortality risk by 13%.

Our study bears out the findings of other researchers who have found that using mobile health apps is beneficial for managing chronic conditions.

Barriers to connection

These finding were promising, but there’s a catch: Many patients can’t afford to buy a mobile device and pay for its service.

Further, medical practices need to make a profit to survive, and there is currently no clear way for a provider to charge for time spent providing medical care via an app. However, the massive switch during the COVID-19 pandemic from in-person care to telehealth has driven many insurers to figure out how to bill for services delivered remotely . These solutions might eventually apply to medical health apps as well.

Developers also have few financial incentives to create apps that integrate with professional health care. Apps commonly earn revenues by converting users into paying customers or ongoing subscribers, or by selling advertising space within the app. The most profitable apps tend to be mobile phone games, which use psychological techniques to increase sales .

But these would be inappropriate in the medical setting. Selling to a patient – or selling the patient’s attention to advertisers – raises questions like: Is my data safe? Is this a medically necessary sale? Does my doctor earn money from this? These concerns could reduce the trust between physician and patient that is essential to treating chronic health conditions.

And the tech has to work. Patients care about how easy it is to use an app, and whether it has the tools that they are looking for. Providers are unhappy when their patients have bad experiences with technology. Further, there are no established standards ensuring that mobile health apps are collecting or delivering accurate information, as there are with most professional medical monitoring equipment.

But as the recognition grows that properly designed health care apps can play a big role in enabling more effective medical care, we could see a major stakeholder step in and provide a monetary incentive for app development and use: the insurance carriers who benefit from lower costs of care.

Ultimately, the key part of treating hypertension and other chronic health problems is the interplay between patient and doctor. Our research shows that a well-designed health app that talks not just to the user but also to the user’s care providers increases the likelihood of that engagement and leads to better treatment and better health.

Apps to help family caregivers stay organized

Keeping track of medications, doctor’s appointments, and caregiving tasks can be overwhelming. Coordinating with helpers and keeping others updated adds even more stress.

Organization apps can help you effectively manage your most precious resource–time. Stay on top of all of your caregiving responsibilities with these super-useful caregiver organization apps.

Carely is a free social network-type app that’s perfect for those who are trying to tag-team caregiving. Carely allows individuals to communicate easily, coordinate caregiver responsibilities, and even organize and track activities and appointments via a shared calendar. Like a social network, you can also use it to share photos of your loved one.

Use Carely’s messaging feature to reach out to your care network. For instance, you can ask, “Is anyone available to watch Dad on Friday night?”. Keep everyone on the same page with the Visit Report feature, which allows you to check off tasks such as giving medication, household chores, hygiene, and filling prescriptions.

Designed by family caregivers for family caregivers, Carefolk gives you the tools you need to reduce stress and avoid burnout. Sign up for a Carefolk Family account to access the toolkit, which includes a family calendar and organizer, care planning and coordination, and medication and appointment reminders.

In addition to assistance with organization, Carefolk has a chat feature that lets you message other caregivers, privately or in a group. Dubbed the Carefolk Community, this network offers support groups for caregivers, as well as peer-to-peer support, plus helpful tips and information.

Also created by professional care managers, the Caring app helps you prepare and plan, which gives you a sense of control so you feel less stressed. Keep handy information like emergency contacts and your loved one’s medical history and medication list in your pocket. It also has a shareable scheduling feature, which lets caregivers list what needs to be done, when, and by whom. Reminders can be set up as app notifications or emails. Like the Carely app, Caring also lets you share reports. You can even make notes at the doctor’s office and instantly share them so that everyone has the same real-time information. This app also features a time tracker for those who need to record caregiving activities.

One thing that sets this app apart from the rest is the personal affairs planner, which lets you note where important documents are located as well as track income and expenses. Don’t worry, everything is fully encrypted, so your privacy is secure. You can even document important decisions for your loved one’s care for future reference. Caring also offers guidance and tips for concerned caregivers.

Try before you buy: Use the Caring app for free with limited access, then sign up for a subscription if you like what you see. Others on your care team won’t have to subscribe, you can give them “view only” or “full access” for free.

This convenient app is designed for patients with chronic illnesses and elderly caregivers. Caregivers can use the Carer app to monitor and manage appointments and meds, plus get tips and support from an online community of healthcare professionals and caregivers. What sets this app apart from the ones we’ve listed already is the hiring feature, which allows you to find qualified local nurses and trained caregivers for medical escort, home care, and nursing procedures.

Perhaps the most comprehensive caregiving app out there, CareZone not only allows you to keep track of important documentation, but you can even upload it for easy access on the go. This app lets you easily add your loved one’s medications by simply taking photos of the prescription bottle labels! Additionally, CareZone Pharmacy services offer free pill packaging and arrange for auto-refills, which is a huge time-saver that will take a load off the caregiver’s mind. And yes, it includes medication reminders, too. Another thing that sets CareZone apart is its ability to store/track health information including mood, weight, sleep, pain, and blood pressure and glucose levels.

This app also lets you keep pertinent health information such as allergies, insurance cards, and ID cards, plus files like advanced directives and power of attorney all in one safe and secure place. It also has a place to keep contact information for doctors, family members, insurance providers, and pharmacies.

Like many of the other care apps, CareZone lets caregivers coordinate schedules through a shareable calendar, which is easily synced with other calendars. This user-friendly app also has a “To-Do” section where you can keep a list of tasks and assign tasks to others. The journal feature lets you keep notes on health issues/symptoms, health care instructions, medical appointments, and more. However, there is no search capability within the journal and notes sections. Another thing that makes CareZone unique is the curated news feed which provides relevant information about your loved one’s illness, disability, or condition.

CaringBridge

Sharing is caring! CaringBridge lets you set up your own website to keep people updated on your loved one’s condition in one centralized, secure place. You may have seen families use CaringBridge to keep others abreast of a cancer patient’s condition, for instance. This way, you don’t have to contact everyone individually and can focus on more pressing matters. Since they’ve partnered with GoFundMe, CaringBridge can even be used for fundraising, which is great for those who need help with medical bills or caregiving costs. But Joe Shmo won’t be able to stumble across it online–users must be invited to view the private website in order to access the page. Once there, friends and family can post encouragement and inspiration from afar.

CaringBridge’s planner/calendar feature keeps track of appointments and tasks like the rest of the apps on this list, but it also allows you to request assistance and assign tasks to others, plus you can put the address of the appointment and click “add to calendar” to see it on your device’s default calendar.

For those who strictly need help managing a loved one’s medications , MedMinder is an automated pill dispenser and app that alerts caregivers when a dose is been missed. MedMinder Pharmacy will even load up the scripts in the pill dispenser for you and deliver it! How easy is that?

Lotsa Helping Hands

This collaborative care calendar tool helps coordinate and keep track of appointments and task assignments. The Help Calendar lets people volunteer for scheduled tasks and will even send them a reminder beforehand. The Announcements feature in Lotsa Helping Hands keeps everyone on the same page with news/updates, notes, and photos, while the Well Wishes section provides a place for users to express their love and support.

Don't just track your steps. Here are 4 health metrics to monitor on your smartwatch, according to doctors.

By Sara Moniuszko

Edited By Paula Cohen

April 26, 2024 / 5:00 AM EDT / CBS News

From smart wearables like the Apple Watch or Garmin trackers to the celebrity-sported Oura ring and trendy WHOOP strap , health tech has come a long way from just tracking your steps.

"There's lots of different metrics now that we can begin to look at," says Dr. Davin Lundquist, family physician and chief medical officer at Augmedix. "Anytime that we can have a greater awareness of our health and paying attention to it, it tends to influence behavior in a positive way."

Here are four that doctors say can be useful to monitor:

Sleep 

Most healthy adults can benefit from sleep tracking to some level, says Dr. Carlos M. Nunez, chief medical officer at medical device company ResMed.

"Many users aren't tracking the right information and can end up fixating or misinterpreting the data rather than observing the larger trends that the trackers can help to indicate," Nunez says. "Users should start by tracking their sleep-wake cycle to establish a consistent routine of quality sleep , which research has shown can lead to improved concentration, increased productivity and feeling overall more positive."

Tracking your heart rate can give you a picture into your heart health. The lower your resting heart rate, within reason, the healthier your heart is, explains Lundquist. 

"If you're doing more aerobic exercise, over time, your resting heart rate should decline. And that would be an indication that your heart is getting healthier," he says. 

Respiratory rate

"Certain devices can also provide insight into potential key health indicators - such as your respiratory rates, activity level and more," Nunez says. "For some users, the data can also indicate how your body is responding to stress."

Respiratory rate is a metric that may alert someone to other health issues, too. That's something Michael Snyder, a Stanford School of Medicine professor who has studied smartwatches, experienced firsthand after coming down with COVID-19 . Though he took a COVID test that came back negative, his own research app alerted him to sudden changes in his breathing and heart rates.

"I listened to my COVID test, and I should have listened my smartwatch," he told CBS News  in a 2022 interview.

Cardiac rhythm

Tracking metrics like cardiac rhythm may help alert patients to a bigger problems.  

"I had a patient whose Apple Watch told them that they had a run of atrial fibrillation," Lundquist said. "We got this person into a cardiologist — sure enough, it was confirmed and the patient was adequately treated."

"Afib (atrial fibrillation) is a big deal," cardiologist Dr. Tara Narula told "CBS Mornings" in 2018 as Apple rolled out electrocardiogram technology in its smartwatches to help detect the heart issue. "It affects millions of Americans, increases hospitalization rates (and) increases death and heart failure."

It also increases risk for potentially debilitating strokes by five times, she added.

"The problem with afib is that it can be asymptomatic, so you can be walking around and not know you have it while you're at increased risk of stroke," she explained, noting that a tracking device could help empower patients, but could also lead to false alarm: "Anxiety, false positives, flooding doctors' offices with calls. There are definitely downsides, but I think this has the potential to really be very helpful down the road,"

How accurate is the data?

Health trackers have come a long way, doctors says, but you shouldn't rely on these devices for 100% accuracy or diagnosis. The FDA has specifically warned against any device that claims to measure blood sugar without needles, since inaccuracies could lead to serious health consequences.

For other types of tracking, "The accuracy of some of the smartwatches is still a little bit in question, although with each generation they're getting better. So I think overall, physicians are getting more confident in trusting these devices," Lundquist says. Plus, as he points out, users also have to take off the device to charge, meaning data won't be recorded 24/7. 

While trackers can be a "valuable tool for many," Nunez says the data shouldn't be used to diagnose serious sleep or health issues.

"Ultimately, sleep tracking devices can help to empower users to set and achieve health goals but are not a substitute for formal diagnosis or professional medical care," he says. 

They can also help physicians partner with their patients, Lundquist says.

"As these applications become more mainstream, the ability to show up in your with your doctor's appointment, pull up your phone and show them your metrics would be a great way for us to partner with our patients and help them see where there's potential opportunities or problems," he says.

• CaringBridge

Best App for Easy Communication with Family and Friends

CaringBridge is just that — a bridge that allows you and your loved ones to stay in touch. It’s particularly useful for families facing health issues such as cancer, heart disease, or diabetes. The app allows multiple caregivers and family members to share important updates, provide encouragement, and coordinate care. Additionally, a guest book feature can be used to share medical updates, photos, stories, and tributes.

This is a wonderful addition to caregiver apps and unique in that it creates a place for more than managing a loved one’s care — you can uplift, stay in the loop and help each other through a difficult time.

What’s Great About CaringBridge:

CaringBridge is an application that specializes in keeping loved ones connected. The app’s designers have created a product that not only shares information but also acts as a safe space for good thoughts, encouragement, photos, medical and caregiving updates.

As the information shared through the app is sensitive, users may worry about its security. However, CaringBridge has taken measures to ensure the safety of users’ information, making it a stress-free platform to communicate about their loved one’s needs. These features make CaringBridge a comprehensive and thoughtful tool for its users.

• Lotsa Helping Hands

Best App for Care Coordination

Lotsa Helping Hands is a caregiving app that helps you create a community of care around your loved one. You can invite family, friends, volunteers, and care aides to join and then manage everything from sitters and errands to appointments and family gatherings using an interactive calendar.

The app has a section called “Helping Hands” that acts as a message board and a well-wishes wall. Caregivers, family, and friends can leave messages of encouragement for the person receiving care or others in the circle of care. The app allows you to select a coordinator and a community member page where you can update contact information and birthdates and list the best times to call. These features make Lotsa Helping Hands an excellent resource for building a vibrant care community.

What’s Great About Lotsa Helping Hands:

Lotsa Helping Hands is a web platform that provides extensive support to caregivers and their loved ones. The website offers practical guidance, personal accounts from other caregivers, a newsletter, and other features that complement the application. Using the Care Calendar, family members and friends can schedule and sign up for tasks such as meal delivery and transport services. Additionally, caregivers can leverage the Lotsa Helping Hands app to create announcements, allowing loved ones to receive messages of encouragement and support from family and friends.

• Caring Village

Best App for Information Storage

The Caring Village app is designed specifically for family caregivers to help them easily coordinate and keep track of their loved one’s care. It’s also a safe app for storing important documents and other sensitive information about the care recipient.

Caring Village CEO and Co-founder Mike Behrman says he was inspired to launch the app after he and his wife became caregivers for his mother-in-law, who has dementia. “We realized that the most important thing we needed to do was communicate effectively with other family members, her care professionals and neighbors,” he said in a news release.

The app is designed to assist family caregivers in managing the care of their loved ones through a secure messaging system. It allows users to create “villages” among friends and relatives to coordinate the specifics of their loved one’s care. Caring Village users can develop customized care plans and personalized to-do lists. The app provides centralized calendar management, document storage, a medication list, and a wellness journal to share with the rest of the family’s “village.”

What’s Great About Caring Village:

Reviewers say the app is easy to use and gives them peace of mind about staying on top of their loved one’s care plan. Caring Village helps caregivers and family members stay informed by allowing users to electronically store important documents that are only accessible to the group’s inner circle. As AARP’s Anne Marie Kilgallon was quoted as saying in a Tech Crunch article earlier this year, “[Caring Village is] all about the connection between family, caregivers and care recipients.”

• First Aid: American Red Cross

Best App for Emergencies

Caring for an elderly individual can be challenging as accidents and injuries can happen anytime despite being cautious. Reduced mobility and balance can also contribute to the likelihood of such occurrences. When such accidents happen, acting fast and not relying on intuition alone is crucial. The First Aid: The American Red Cross app is indispensable in such situations as it can help you address the issue quickly and effectively.

This app offers its users professional advice, helpful videos and animations for first-aid learning, step-by-step instructions during emergencies, and an integrated 9-1-1 call button. Plus, it comes preloaded with a wealth of information about first aid and CPR, making it a must-have app for caregivers.

What’s Great About First Aid: American Red Cross:

First Aid: American Red Cross is content-rich, and all that critical information is available offline. If you are in the woods without a signal or have your phone on airplane mode during your flight, the information and tools you need will still be accessible. This can be life-saving in an emergency where there’s no one nearby to help. 

Get the App:

Best App for Health Monitoring

eCare21 provides round-the-clock patient monitoring through wireless and wearable devices such as a smartwatch or FitBit. You can track the wearer’s glucose, heart rate, activity, medication, weight, calorie intake, and sleep. Caregivers, patients, family members, and doctors can access this helpful information anytime via the app.

eCare is ideal for caregivers as they manage their loved ones’ schedules and meet their health needs. However, you may need several apps or websites to tackle more complex caregiving challenges such as pain management, medication interaction, financial matters, and end-of-life issues. While the app is free, you can upgrade your subscription to access benefits like unlimited care plans and the ability to share care plans with a caregiver.

What’s Great About eCare21:

eCare21’s latest technology allows you to monitor your loved one’s care needs without being intrusive. It’s ideal for a working or long-distance caregiver and by providing vital health data, which means better and quicker response. Forbes offered a favorable review of eCare21 stating, “The patients’ doctors, loved ones and caregivers can keep an eye on them and provide proactive care, even from hundreds of miles away.”

Best App for Medication Management

Any caregiver knows the frustrations and concerns involved in medication management. For administering medications, caregivers must remember things like dosage timing and record-keeping, whether or not to take it with food, potential side effects, and tracking benefits or drawbacks. Through offering reminders and practical information, Medisafe Meds & Pill Reminder helps alleviate some of these concerns by connecting caregivers, seniors, and the medical community to provide cohesive care.

While some users noted frustrations with loading several medications at various time intervals, it should also be noted that MediSafe receives high marks for customer support, and the app’s support team addresses each online review concern.

What’s Great About Medisafe:

Medisafe is designed for users of any age and caregivers responsible for medication monitoring. Medisafe is unique in that it’s a medication reminder and educates people about their condition and the medicines they’re taking at the same time. The app can help caregivers with reminders, progression tracking, and even finding coupons and other incentives. It also benefits physicians who want to connect with their patients through the Medisafe app. Medisafe has been featured on CNBC and in Reader’s Digest.

Best App for Self-Care and Caregiver Support

Amidst the demands of caring for loved ones, caregivers are at a greater risk of stress and burnout, as well as negative impacts on their physical and mental health. The Ianacare (iana means “I am not alone”) app was designed to equip and empower caregivers with the needed resources and support. The app provides the ability to organize caregiver teams and request or receive help from family and friends. For instance, you can ask for assistance transporting your loved one to an appointment, and someone from your social circle can accept your request via the Ianacare app.

The Ianacare smartphone app is designed to assist individuals on their caregiver journey. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining physical and mental well-being by providing expert content and connection to various caregiving support groups and communities. These resources help individuals become better care providers over time.

What’s Great About Ianacare:

Ianacare is one of the few platforms that focuses on helping caregivers cope while caring for a loved one. For example, caregivers can use the app to find curated programs and services available in their local area. Plus, the app gives you ways to contact organizations directly. In addition, Ianacare offers Caregiver Navigators, where you can receive 1-1 support from trained caregiver coaches.
