How Technology is Improving Elder Care Services

Technology is considered a blessing for us in this new era. We rely on technology for almost everything now. It has changed our lifestyle for good especially when it comes to taking care of our near and dear ones especially our beloved seniors.

Today I am going to focus on some important points on how technology is improving elder care services to make our loved ones feel healthy and good.

⇒  First and foremost I will tell you about devices like Blood pressure monitors and glucometers. Nowadays senior people don’t need to visit a doctor’s chamber or a medicine shop to check their blood pressure or sugar level. They can easily monitor their vitals sitting at their home with these devices. Moreover, they can also check their oxygen level with the oximeter which is easily available in medicine shops and pharmacies after this coronavirus pandemic. They can immediately report to their doctor if they feel anything is not right. If your beloved seniors are availing elder care services then the assigned caregiver can easily track your senior’s vitals with these pieces of equipment.

⇒  During this pandemic time, the whole world is forced to stay at home so technology has come to our rescue, especially for our beloved elders. They can keep in constant touch with their doctors on the virtual platform by using applications like Skype, What’s app, zoom etc.

⇒  Now there are lots of mobile applications which our elderly can download for getting important tips related to health and hygiene. With the help of smartphones and smartwatches, our beloved elders can monitor their heart rates, medications and most importantly locations (if they have memory loss issues and they don’t know where they are, they can easily track the locations with their phones).

⇒  Senior care services in Kolkata offer services like emergency hospitalization which we can easily avail for our seniors any time by just calling them or sending a message from our mobile phones. 

⇒  Just think of an emergency when your beloved senior needs to intake oxygen. Previously you had to admit your loved ones to a hospital for giving oxygen but now with just a phone call, you can get oxygen concentrators at your home for your elders. Eldercare services provide home nursing facilities with an emergency setup. Seniors can easily heal themselves at the comfort of their home with the home nursing facilities with modern emergency setups.

⇒  Elder Care Services in Kolkata also provide physiotherapy services at the comfort of home by using modern technology like ultrasound and electric stimulation which provides a permanent solution to the issues of the elderly. 

These are some of the ways by which technology is improving elder care services and making the lives of the elders more comfortable.
