Below are some of the latest advances to consider as a caregiver:

Automated pill dispenser: It’s common for elderly patients to take a plethora of pills for a variety of reasons. Keeping pills straight can be a challenge for those caring for them. An automated pill dispenser makes it easier to keep the pills straight. MedMinder Maya has a SIM card connecting the dispenser to the MedMinder's website, allowing caregivers to manage the pills remotely.

Fall-prevention mobile alert system: The GreatCall Lively Mobile can go anywhere an elderly patient goes and is connected to a trained agent. The device has built-in GPS so that the agent can see where they are and send help, if necessary. There’s a fall-detection feature, which automatically alerts the agent that the user has fallen and needs help.

Interactive website for caregivers: How are you feeling? It’s a question that caregivers ask their loved ones regularly, but one that may not get asked of caregivers. This website gives those taking care of others a chance to consider how they’re feeling. Check out the site here.
