The apps will empower patients to take ownership of their care and chronic disease management, Geisinger says.
Geisinger and Merck have joined forces to create new patient- and caregiver-facing apps to support chronic disease management.

The Family Caregiver Application will allow patients and caregivers to manage their calendar of various health-related tasks, such as appointments or medication schedules. The app will also allow for two-way communication between providers and patients or caregivers.
