Telemonitoring (Remote Monitoring of Vital Signs and Symptoms)

​

Homecare Continuum LLC assists patients in easily monitoring their health and vital signs. A home telemonitoring unit (Blood Pressure Curve and Glucometer) is used as part of a comprehensive disease management program.

​

How Telemonitoring Works:

​

The system monitors the patient's vital signs and symptoms, then sends the information to the home care nurse over the telephone.

​

This early warning system enables nurses to resolve potential health problems before they escalate, leading to fewer emergency visits or hospitalizations.

​

Patients are provided with simple-to-use equipment to monitor weight, blood pressure and pulse with the push of a button and simple voice prompts.

​

1. Data transmits from the patient’s home over the phone line.
    

2. A Disease Management RN in the home care office monitors the results via secure internet on a daily basis.
    

3. Patients are followed closely with personal phone calls or visits to prevent potential complications.
    

4. A physician may also access a secure web site to monitor individual patients.
