Remote Patient Monitoring enlists the expertise of Community Paramedics to provide health education as well as easy-to-use devices to monitor a patient’s health from the comfort of their home. The program aims to support people living with CHF, COPD, diabetes and other coexisting conditions. 

 

This remote monitoring allows the Community Paramedic team to work with the patient’s health care provider to track health conditions and prevent admission or readmission to hospitals.

 

The Community Paramedic team has successfully trialed these remote devices with patients in our community and has the capacity to expand to 50 patients. The program has also been developed with a sustainable plan of transitioning patients to the Wellness Connections Program.
