Since life expectancy is getting longer around the world, the number of people affected by the brain disease is expected to triple in some countries by the middle of the century. People with Alzheimer's often have other medical needs that require the services of numerous health care professionals. Caregivers often have a hard time keeping up with all the medical information.
More and more, family members are being called on to help care for loved ones with Alzheimer's. It is a responsibility for which most people are unprepared. This is why the Hebrew Home, a private health care group in Riverdale, New York, developed an iPhone and iPad application called "Balance."
The app offers caregivers advice on recognizing symptoms and on feeding, bathing and providing a healthy environment for the patient. It can be bought on the Internet for $4. David Pomeranz is Hebrew Home's program development director, and he created "Balance."阿尔茨海默症通常是老年人罹患的疾病。由于全世界平均预期寿命延长，预计某些国家受这种脑病影响的人在本世纪中叶会增至三倍。阿尔茨海默患者通常还有其他要求许多职业医疗保健人员提供服务的需求。护理员常常苦于难以更新所有的医疗信息。
越来越多的声音呼吁家庭成员帮助护理其患有阿尔茨海默症的亲人。这对大多数没有准备的人来讲是一种负担，所以纽约河谷区（Riverdale）一家私营医疗保健集团希伯来护理院（Hebrew Home）为iPhone和iPad开发了一个名为“平衡（Balance）”的应用程序。
该应用程序提供给护理人员关于识别症状、喂食、沐浴以及为病人营造健康环境的建议，在网上花4美元就能买到。大卫·波默兰兹（David Pomeranz）是希伯来护理院的程序开发主管，他创造了“平衡”。
