PRESENTS Smartphone app can give reminders to take medication continued from p.35 something like this," said Stern. He noted that once you enter the dosage and frequency information of the medication in the app, it will send you reminders on when to take it. "Once you take your medication and put it into the smartphone or computer, you have a record of it that you can share with your doctor. If you have a son or a daughter who's interested in your health care, they can actually get messaging on whether or not you've taken your medication," said Stern. "If you forget, they can encourage you to take it. It's a nice design and it really allows patients to be reminded on when and how to take their medications." The app's manufacturer will even donate a small amount of money to a charity of your choice every time you indicate you've taken the medication, which is a "pretty neat incentive," Stern said. "When you sign up, you get the Care4Family app, so your family can share (your records), as well as Care4Charity. It gives you choices and the company donates every time. It's a small amount, but if everybody does it, it can add up substantially," said Stern. However, technology does have potential downfalls in medical treatment.

"Sometimes patients feel the doctor spends too much time on the computer or not talking to them enough. Sometimes a patient may feel that they're becoming another object. That's a potential con," said Stern. "You have to make sure you still talk to the patient, give them eye contact. Just don't sit behind a screen and treat them with a computer." With the convenience of online search engines, some patients look to the Internet for possible diagnoses to symptoms they're experiencing. Stern advises people to avoid using the Internet for diagnosis but rather to find medical contacts or gather information for a doctor or professional to answer. "There's a potential for huge benefits. But if you use it for diagnosis...there's a lot of misinformation out there. You do have to be careful of the source and make sure you follow up with a healthcare professional," said Stern.
