There are numerous responsibilities associated with this essential role. Our mobile app can provide you with daily practical support!
Her children don’t live near her. She wants to run some errands and attend her yoga class. She asks a companion to take over the caregiving.
But how could this person know everything about Robert’s condition and how to help him?
Margaret has it all written down in the MedOClock® app. Here are a few examples:
The companion downloads the application and Margaret grants her access to Robert’s file. She can now browse through it before heading to the couple’s home. She feels way more prepared upon arrival!
From morning until dawn, the child must be accompanied by several workers. He is non-verbal. Cindy uses MedOClock® to learn about the specifics of her son’s day; from his departure via para-transit to his arrival at school, and from his quick stop at the respite centre to his return home. She gave all the workers access to Benjamin’s file, where they can provide various information about him throughout the day:
Cindy feels better equipped (and secure) when Benjamin returns from school. She can adapt her caregiving according to the day’s events.
Attendants tell them their dad hasn’t been able to eat by himself for a week. His children want to support him through this difficult time. Nicole downloads MedOClock® to coordinate visits. She creates an account for her dad and gives her brothers access to it.
She contacts an attendant and provides the following information in the app:
Nicole also indicates that she’ll take care of Friday’s lunch and dinner. She can specify if her dad ate well or not. Jasmin and Mark do the same for the following days. This way, they can take over from one another without stress and coordinate appropriately to avoid being at the retirement home all at the same time.
Most of us have no idea what a caregiver truly is. Many people don’t even know they are carrying out this role. Firstly, caregivers can be of all ages and have a wide variety of backgrounds. They could be a parent assisting their child with special needs or their neighbour with a neurocognitive disorder.
Here are a few examples of a caregiver’s responsibilities:
Julie Magnan, a communications entrepreneur and a caregiver herself, created MedOClock® to help caregivers manage their responsibilities. Available on both Android and IOS devices, the app helps with delegating tasks, simplifying follow-ups, and facilitating the organization around the person with a loss of autonomy (child or adult). It also allows you to save time, overcome feelings of isolation, pursue your professional endeavours, and get some respite.
Building a support network as a caregiver reflects dedication and courage. It means you have established your boundaries regarding your responsibilities and have decided to seek the support you need. While it may not be easy to take the first step, asking for help is so important!
Every individual who provides support (family, friends, CLSC workers, healthcare professionals, etc.) can access MedOClock®️. Since they have access to all the information related to the person with a loss of autonomy, you can delegate tasks with absolute peace of mind.
Would you like to have all your loved one’s medical appointments or daily activities at your fingertips? This is now possible. And more!

“Our kids don’t live with us anymore. The app is a reassuring (communication) tool for them. They can follow the changes in their mom’s disease and provide support when I need it. I’m not very tech-savvy. My grandson installed the app on my phone for me. I find it easy to use.”

“Installing MedOClock®️ on my tablet has made me feel more secure… I’m no longer the only one to keep tabs on all the medical information and life habits of my 90-year-old mom who lives alone. Thanks to this app where I can find all this information in one place, I can make time for myself and be at peace knowing that the people who have taken over, to accompany her on her medical appointments for example, have all the information they need. I find it practical and it takes some weight off of my shoulders.”
– Suzanne L.
“When a senior doesn’t speak French, it becomes extremely difficult to communicate effectively with medical staff. Nurses, doctors, and other professionals often speak French only, which complicates interactions, even for basic information communication. This can lead to misunderstandings, delays in care, and growing frustration for the caregiver. MedOClock®️ being available in English facilitates dialogue and alleviates the mental burden.”
