Proven innovation
COPD and heart failure
The COPD and heart failure services gathers patient readings including blood pressure, oxygen, temperature, weight, heart rate and C02.
About
Patients relay readings via a communication channel of their choice. The service means patients no longer have to attend routine GP appointments.
If readings fall out of range, a healthcare professional is alerted to take appropriate action.
All readings can be viewed in the patient record for authorised professionals to view.
