What is the MapHabit app?
According to the company’s website, MapHabit is a mission-driven organization with a simple goal — to support individuals and improve their quality of life with their proven and scientific mobile software. The team members at Maphabit are passionate about creating innovative, personalized, technology-driven solutions to help people in their daily lives reach their goals while reducing stress and burden.
MapHabit is an app platform that provides caregivers and support providers with expertise and guidance to help reduce their burden. The company’s targeted solutions support specific health needs tailored to the affected individual. For example, there is a unique and holistic wellness questionnaire that helps caregivers and support providers break down the specific health need and understand the specific solutions that will make quality of life better for themselves and the individuals they care for. The result is better overall communication and transfer of information. This helps them provide the best possible care for the individual while reducing stress and improving overall outcomes.
MapHabit’s solutions for neurocognitive disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias are founded on the science of procedural memory. This memory system stores habits and it’s relatively unaffected when there are cognitive declines. When MapHabit is used, routines stay on track, making activities of daily living less stressful and more likely to be successfully completed. In short, the MapHabit approach helps individuals with neurocognitive disorders live their best life possible.
Many individuals with a diagnosis of dementia are not fully dependent on a caregiver yet. However, they forget certain steps of an activity or task, and their quality of life becomes diminished. This leads to withdrawal from social interactions and feelings of isolation and loneliness. With the MapHabit’s patented approach to procedural memory, affected individuals can choose a visual map from the app’s library, or make a personal map with assistance. The maps are customized to match the individual’s specific routine and slowly the individual builds self-esteem, can manage daily activities and is confident to start socializing again.
MapHabit supports aging in place and offers support for caregivers and health care professionals in improving quality of life for affected individuals. For instance, caregivers are offered a unique and holistic wellness questionnaire and outcomes are such that they become better equipped to understand Alzheimer’s journey and to help their loved ones with daily needs, habits and routines. The visual maps on the app help reduce the daily caregiver struggles and stress, and both the caregiver and their loved one can enjoy an improved quality of life and savor more important moments together. Supporting routines and habits while improving outcomes are vital for affected individuals who wish to continue living in their homes with a caregiver and maintaining independence.
Research on the MapHabit showed that after using MapHabit for three months, the top five quality of life areas scored the highest percentage of improvement across both individuals and their support caregivers. These quality of life areas were reduced frustration, reduced anger, enjoyment of life, cooperation and satisfaction of progress.
