Introduction to the
CuramLife Care Coordination app
The CuramLife™ Care Coordination (CC) app is designed to enable users to develop a “Care Circle” of friends, relatives, or neighbors to assist with managing care for themselves or a health-challenged family member or friend.
The CuramLife CC app will help with tracking medications, scheduling doctors’ appointments, common household tasks, and so much more for you and your designated Care Circle.
Care Management was never easy. Now it can be.
Caring for people with chronic, convalescing, or medically complex conditions can be difficult and stressful for any family. Scheduling medical appointments, making sure they have meals, laundry is cleaned, and other household chores are completed are just a few of the issues family and friends deal with as well as the obvious ones like medical appointments, home care and medications. Most supportive family members can only perform these duties on a part-time basis requiring multiple family members and friends to fill in.
Getting everyone working together to fill in, as their schedules permit, has usually been a rough road now made much easier with the CuramLife CC app that can be easily downloaded to your phone to help you during these stress-filled times.
Some of the features the CuramLife CC app includes are:
- Loading medical reports from doctors/patient portals into the app to support the monitoring managing of individual health needs.
- Checking in daily with a family member via the “Notes tab” section of the app
- Creating a Care Circle by inviting authorized friends and family to download the app and use it to stay informed about your health
- Tracking and managing medications being taken
- Recording your vital medical information daily to track changes
A Use Case Example:
Let’s say you are a member who is watching your A1C levels to monitor blood sugar control in order to keep it below 5.7%. According to the CDC, a level of 5.7% to 6.4% indicates prediabetes, and a level of 6.5% or more indicates diabetes. Within the 5.7% to 6.4% prediabetes range, the higher your A1C, the greater your risk is for developing Type 2 diabetes.
With the CuramLife App, you can monitor these levels by entering your information about your blood sugar under the Diabetics tab. There is a calendar feature and area that allows you to track your insulin and dosage. You can enter the time and date when you took the insulin and save the information. Having this information in one place can leave you assured that you are managing your blood sugar. You can designate other family members to be involved with your care as well as be informed of your daily A1C levels.
