A caregiver management app that tracks medications, appointments, with collaboration tools to help keep everyone in sync.

OpenCare

This is a collaborative tool and resource designed to assist individuals in caring for elderly, ill, or in-need loved ones. This project does not comply with HIPAA or other healthcare privacy and security regulations and is not intended for actual medical use. Users should refrain from entering personal health information. This app is provided "as-is" under the GPL 3.0 license.

This project is a work in progress. It is designed to assist caregivers with a set of tools to coordinate and manage caregiving tasks. It should not be relied upon as the sole repository for all patient medical data, but rather as a quick reference tool. The app includes the following features:

• Google Calendar Integration: Allows multiple users to coordinate and schedule events.

• Specialty Healthcare Providers: Reference primary care provider's name and contact info and add additional specialty providers.

• Medication Tracker: Keep track of routine medications, to maintain as a quick reference.

• Personal Medical Care Notes: Jot down and access specific notes regarding personal medical care instructions.

• Dietary Requirements/Personal Menu: Record and manage dietary requirements and personalized menus.

• Shopping List: Create and manage a shopping list specifically tailored to the patient's needs.

Work in Progess

• The foundation for sharing a patient among different users is in place, however linking multiple users to a patient is not currently working.

• Autosuggest for medication names is currently not working.

• I plan on adding an 'Up-to-date as of...' subheading to the different components.
