Services Available With Remote Patient Monitoring
Daily Care Coordination via RPM
A Remote Care Coordinator (RCC) stays in touch each day to review health data like blood sugar levels, meals, and medication adherence. If something seems off, family members or emergency services are contacted immediately.
Home Safety Monitoring
RPM includes sleep and movement tracking and environmental monitoring (water, humidity) to catch early signs of issues like UTIs, mold, or accidents.
Smart Home & Virtual Nursing Support
Voice-activated devices control lighting and climate. If concerns arise, virtual visits with a registered nurse are available; equipment like tablets, blood pressure cuffs, and pulse oximeters are provided, ensuring seamless communication.
Fall Detection & Routine Alerts
Motion sensors monitor daily patterns. If typical routines (like getting out of bed) don’t happen or a door opens unexpectedly, RCCs are notified to check in or escalate.
