Abstract

Communication systems and methods for enhancing communication between users and caregivers, health care providers, and other users via a central processing center. The system comprises a central processing center, including a server, and communication devices such as telephones, pagers, and personal digital assistants. Information programmed into the server by the user can be transmitted to the user's communication devices without requiring the user to input the information into each device separately. Through the system, other parties, such as adult child caregiver to a senior parent, can program information on the senior parent's communication devices. The system also allows users to contact other users with similar interests.
