Today, in order to monitor your health, you don’t have to go to the doctor’s office, being distracted from work, family, and important affairs.
This method of monitoring and medical supervision works well for elderly people with chronic diseases, patients after surgery, as well as residents of remote areas who have limited access to medical facilities.
The devices collect information on the state of organs and body systems , the mobile app collects the information from sensors and sends it to a clinic.
Constant monitoring of the state of health allows your doctor to choose a more accurate treatment method and shortens the recovery time.
As we’ve already mentioned, patients can visit medical facilities less often, which is crucial during the pandemic, when the number of beds in hospitals is limited, and going to a clinic means an additional risk of contamination, especially speaking of the elderly.
The list can be supplemented with pill dispensers that remind people of taking medicine, pulse oximeters, devices for recording ECG and electroencephalograms, electronic stethoscopes, etc.
After being discharged from the hospital, people at risk of complications receive a pulse oximeter, an electronic thermometer, a smart scale, a blood pressure monitor, and a tablet to record their vital signs on a regular basis.

The algorithm detects inflammation about a month before it develops into an ulcer, and all people need to do is to stand on the mat for 20 seconds every day.
UCLA Health, the American network of hospitals and primary care centers, has created a remote monitoring program for patients who have undergone heart surgery.
This system sends real-time information to hospital staff and alerts if something is wrong with a patient.
The device continuously measures heart rate and respiration, sleep phases , changes in heart rate, and the autonomic nervous system balance.
The solution allows you to monitor your heart and respiratory rate in a non-contact and accurate way at a distance of up to several meters thanks to optical sensors and AI algorithms. Users control the equipment and view reports via the Donisi mobile app.
Remote patient monitoring is a new step in the development of medicine that guarantees increased security, accuracy, and convenience in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
