Telemonitoring is now available by the agency. |

This is an easy to use, cost-effective way of providing daily monitoring of patients from their homes. The vital-sign monitoring and communication device measures weight, blood pressure, heart rate, and blood oxygenation. The unit has the ability to communicate in several different languages. Each day, a friendly voice guides the patient through the simple 3-minute procedure to collect all of their vital data. After the last of the vital signs is taken, the patient is asked up to ten subjective questions. This information is automatically sent to the home health agency via wireless digital two-way paging system. The data is then reviewed daily to see how the patient is progressing.
