Aurora Visiting Nurse Association Home Health
Monitoring Program provides you with the best of both worlds: the comfort
and independence of staying at home, and the security of daily monitoring
and proper medical attention.
How
it works
The system consists of a compact monitor and scale, which is placed in
your home.
In just three minutes, the system collects a variety of vital signs
such as heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, body weight and
temperature every day.
The data is sent via the phone line to the Aurora VNA office, where a nurse
reviews the information 365 days a year and responds appropriately. If
there is a change in your health status our nurse contacts your physician
to promptly address your needs.
