There IS an App for That Advance Directive!

Charlie Sabatino, Executive Director of the ABA Commission on Law & Aging sent me an email to let me know about the release of an update to the app, My Health Care Wishes.  According to the flyer for the app

My Health Care Wishes is a smartphone app that gives you and your family members the ability to store your own and each other’s health care advance directives, key health information, and health care contacts on your Apple or Android smartphones, and to send advance directive documents and other key information directly to health care providers by email or Bluetooth.

There are two versions: the lite version is free (coming soon) and the pro version has a small cost.  The website explains and compares the features of the two versions.

According to the Q&A about the app, “[t]he idea behind the app is very simple – to ensure that vital information that affects critical health-care decisions is controlled by the individual and by loved ones accessible at the right time and the right place when most needed.” 

Cool!
