Does anyone know if there is an iPhone app that allows caregivers to share prescription info for an elder?

Of course the app is only as good as the data you put in it. I recommend dictating instead of typing to input things like test results - just proofread what you have dictated. I have stuff like echocardiogram results in there that I dictated from reports, and that's really nice when someone asks about the history of a particular condition.
Sometimes I bring up the app, go to the relevant category, and hand the iPhone to the doctor so they can read it themselves. You can email reports (such as the list of editions) from the app, so sometimes that's how I transfer it to the attending doc.
I wish this app synced more elegantly to the Mac version and stored the data in iCloud. But having it locally stored on the phone is necessary because so often you are in a place where you don't necessarily have access to the net.
