Embracing the caregiver role in the SigmaMD Patient App is an essential service you provide for your loved one or dependant. Understanding the invite and learning how to switch between patient profiles will ensure you can manage their health data effectively and with ease.
Understanding the Caregiver Invite
As a caregiver, you may receive an invite within the SigmaMD Patient App. This notification is an indicator that you've been designated as a caregiver for a new patient. This role may have been assigned to you for a child under the age of 16 or for someone who doesn't have their own email and phone number listed. By receiving the invite, you'll receive notifications, view health data, participate in chats, engage in telehealth sessions, and participate in all actions on behalf of the patient.
Switching Between Patients in the App
To manage multiple patients' data within the SigmaMD Patient App, you need to know how to switch between different patient profiles:
Access the Main Navigation: At the bottom of the SigmaMD Patient App, you'll see a navigation bar. Tap on the right-most icon, which typically displays your initial or profile picture.
Select the Patient: A list of patients under your care will appear. From here, you can select the patient profile you wish to view. It could be your own profile or that of the person you’re caring for.
Managing Patient Data: Once you select a patient, the app will update to display that patient's specific information. This includes their profile, health data, chat history, and any shared content. You can seamlessly switch back and forth as needed, ensuring you are always viewing the correct information.
The caregiver functionality within the SigmaMD Patient App is a testament to the thoughtfully crafted features of the platform, designed to ensure comprehensive care and easy management of health data. Whether you are coordinating care for a single individual or multiple patients, SigmaMD provides the tools you need to be an effective caregiver.
