About in-home monitoring

The HomMed Health Monitoring System collects your clinical data such as heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation levels, weight and temperature all from your home.

Home Care nurses continue to make home visits, but the HomMed system offers you daily monitoring when home visits are not scheduled.

The HomMed system can detect some problems before they become more serious.

How in-home monitoring works for you

The system uses an advanced voice-instruction module that instructs you step by step, what to do.

Your data collected is transmitted over telephone lines to the home care agency. If a daily monitoring report is not received on schedule, the agency contacts your home to find out if assistance is needed.
