Telemonitoring

Many caregivers are challenged by the task of monitoring their homebound loved one's health on a regular basis. This is especially true for conditions that fluctuate daily or even hourly, such as blood pressure, heart and breathing rate and blood glucose.

Fortunately, new technology allows this type of monitoring without your loved one even leaving home. It is called telemonitoring or telecare and allows your loved one to have their vital health markers checked each day or several times each day, depending on the need. Telemonitoring helps your loved one better understand their condition and manage their health while also giving healthcare providers important information about your loved one's condition. This technology has also been shown to improve health outcomes for those living with chronic conditions. Telemonitoring has allowed many people to remain in their homes and live productive lives by addressing their health needs early, before hospitalization is needed.
