Smart High-Tech Solutions for Aging in Place

The call came in less than an hour before the 8 a.m. shift was scheduled to start: A family emergency meant the regular caregiver for an elderly Dana Point, California, client couldn't make her shift that day, so a replacement caregiver was needed ASAP.
Homewatch CareGivers of San Juan Capistrano (Calif.) had to quickly find and send a substitute from its pool of licensed, trained and security-bonded caregivers.
Once confirmed to cover the shift, the substitute caregiver tapped into the Homewatch CareGivers "Care+" mobile system to access the client's medical information, such as client care plan and schedules for meals, medications, blood pressure monitoring, doctor visits and more.
In the mobile app, the caregiver was able to check in for the shift, confirm timesheet details, and obtain driving directions to the client's home.
At the end of the eight-hour workday, the caregiver used the mobile app to capture end-of-shift notes and formally check out of the work period that had been scheduled so hurriedly early that morning. All the day's client-related information and activity were recorded in the Care+ database for future reference.Readmore

The best secure mobile messaging apps 2017

Image
In a world stricken by worries over illicit surveillance, a new generation of secure mobile communication apps wants to ride to the rescue of the privacy conscious. This type of application has been a cottage industry for desktop computers for years, usually for secure email or instant messaging, but the arrival of mobile platforms has given them the sort of kick that is leading many to dream of reaching the mainstream.   These days, activity in the sector is now so fevered that several platforms have launched in the second half of 2015 alone, a striking uptick for a type of software that used to be seen as the preserve of the technical users with a paranoid bent or political dissidents. Once small scale in their ambitions, the mostly new companies making these apps sense a huge opportunity to grab business users anxious about the implications of living in the post-Snowden world.  http://www.techworld.com/security/best-secure-mobile-messaging-apps-3629914/
