Celebrate Parents' Day!!

Being chronically ill can be embarrassing! Day in and day out, we do see our near and dear ones go through the pain, stress, and trauma due to a chronic ailment. It can add to the worries if you are someone who stays away from them and you realize they have done so much to take care of you and support you.

An overwhelming percentage of chronically ill, elderly patients go through the painful process of logging their health vitals, recurring needs such as buying medicines, undergoing various lab tests for medical checkups, or availing home care services. On top of this, there is lack of mechanism to capture comprehensive medical history or service targeting for hospital.

Today, we are presented with situations that make us so engrossed with our work –the long hours, tight schedules, demanding deadlines - we are so busy growing up and we often forget our parents are also growing old.

Apparently, there is no “one size fits all” solution for this as is the case with all other things in life. But given the advancements in mobile technology, smart phones, and applications in healthcare, probably there is more you can accomplish to support them and help them enjoy a good quality of life. mHealth applications have made patient monitoring far too simpler and become effective means to foster strong patient-physician relationship.

Present your loved ones a solution that is simple, relevant & help you stay connected wherever you are and give yourself a chance to empower your parents!
