The reporter cautions readers to be diligent in their research, however. Anyone can make an app, so it's important to check with your doctor or visit the website of a reputable medical facility, like the Mayo Clinic, for app reviews to ensure it's a legitimate tool.

What brilliant apps and devices, they should make it much easier taking care of elderly relatives, not just the carers but also those being cared for.
