Caregivers Have New Help

Caregivers have access to innovative new software to enable them to take better care of their loved ones thru better medical data management.

[Deerfield, IL - [January 23, 2003 --

Nearly one out of every four households, 22.4 million, is involved in caregiving to persons aged 50 or over. Caregiving is a burden personally, financially, and medically on both caregiver and their families. Caregivers now have new help from an innovative caregiving software that enables caregivers to provide more efficient, low stress care by having access to medical information and facilitating doctors visits.        

The new software is a Caregiving Software, and is an updated version of the handheld software Health Empowerment Tools v1.0 developed by PDAHealthWare, Inc. With this new software, caregivers will be able to track all medical data such as lab tests, medications, side effects of medications, doctor appointments, and print reports of medication instructions.

Dr. Amarish Dave, President and Co-Founder of PDAHealthWare, Inc. said, Physicians are often pressed for time for a variety of reasons, and patients who are best able to advocate for themselves are likely to receive the best care. The Caregiver Software will allow caregivers to optimize the care of their loved one by identifying side effects of medications sooner, and reduce caregiver stress by having access to all of the pertinent medical information at any time."

PDAHealthWare, Inc. was founded in 2000 and has distributed over 6000 copies of the handheld Health Empowerment Tools v1.0. It is a leading personal medical software company and the first to release a Windows and Palm OS compatible software designed to help Caregivers. The Palm OS version, which is for use in handheld computers, sells for $19, and the Windows OS version for use on desktop or laptop computers retails for $48. Both are available at the companys website, http://www.pdahealthware.com.
