In this episode on the Living with Alzheimer's podcast, Christoph interviews Tina Sadarangani, ANP-C GNP-BC PhD RN, Assistant Professor at NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing.
They discuss her research efforts to improve healthcare outcomes for the elderly and CareMobi, an app her team has developed to connect family caregivers, in-home caretakers, staff at adult day care programs, and medical providers so they can share health information with each other on a single platform. CareMobi is available for both iOS and Android users.
Tina describes the benefits of adult day centers for caregivers and those living with dementia, as well as how families can locate a day center near them at National Adult Day Services Association’s website.
Tina also shares warning signs for acute infections and Enlightened Caregiver, a social media feed with tips for caregivers to be effective advocates for their loved one in the doctor’s office or hospital.
