There is a new class of technologies using existing PCs, tablets and apps on mobile phones to enable carers more efficiently to manage care. These offer carers the benefits of:
- Reduced load on a single carer by enabling shared responsibility
- Carer scheduling, including calendaring for example for hospital visits
- Shows contact details of all carers
- Visibility of all tasks requiring completion to ensure none are missed or duplicated
- More eyes and ears to spot problems, or deterioration suggesting the need to anticipate impending problems
