Remote Patient Monitoring

Your blood pressure and oxygen level say a lot about your overall health. In the past, you’d need to come into a doctor’s office for those readings, but not anymore thanks to Lee Health’s Remote Patient Monitoring program. “The goal is really number one is to keep you safe in your home, number two to allow management of your condition in the home.” Virtual Health Medical Director Dr. Zsolt Kulcsar said the program will focus on patients with heart failure, COPD, and high blood pressure. “They will get a kit delivered to their home, and the kit will be able to collect vital signs with what we call biometric data.”

Patients will collect their health data daily. The results will be available on their tablet. “What our nurses will do is check every single day, pick up the subtle changes early, be able to intervene early, and potentially keep you safe in your home,” said Dr. Kulcsar.

The health data will also go onto the patients’ medical record. “So not just our team, but your entire care team can look at it. Your cardiologist, your lung specialist, your primary care, and together we can make changes,” said Dr. Kulcsar. You can be referred to the program by your doctor. Using technology to allow people to better manage their chronic conditions from home through a data driven process.
