Our Care Journal is a new mobile app that lets you create personalised care plans which can be shared with up to six family members.
Designed with input from carers, the Journal lets you record medications, appointments, and contacts; monitor wellbeing and health such as blood pressure and appetite; create an emergency care plan and jot down other details including their habits, likes and dislikes.
Simply add to the app and everybody in the system can see the updates.
Importantly the Journal also has a separate dashboard that lets users connect with other carers through email – a great way to find others who understand your situation.
As we covered here, many carers manage without access to support services.
But there is a need as the app shows – since it was released on 15 October, it’s been downloaded over 400 times.
With around 2.7 million carers across Australia, it could be a useful tool if you do need a helping hand.
Our Care Journal is free to download from both the Apple App store here and the Android App store here.
