Virtual Homecare

Remote Technology Enabled Care

Connected Health: A Compassionate Alternative

Virtual care leverages technology-such as telephones, video calls, and mobile apps-to deliver health services to patients outside of the hospital settings. However, virtual homecare takes this a step further, providing actual remote patient care through advanced technology and remote monitoring tools.

At Connected Health, we recognise that not everyone is comfortable with carers entering their homes. To respect these preferences, we offer virtual care as a thoughtful alternative. More often, we utilise a hybrid model, blending traditional homecare with virtual solutions, including remote monitoring technology, to ensure comprehensive care.

Our services include companionship calls via smartphones, offering safety check-is, medication reminders, and well-being assessments. This flexible approach can complement in-person care or stand alone, allowing you to create a customised care plan tailored to your unique needs.

But that’s just the beginning. Connected Health’s Technology Enabled Care menu offers a wide range of options to support you or your loved ones in the comfort of your home, ensuring independence, and peace of mind.

The Human Touch, Enhanced by Technology

While technology is popular, it cannot replace the human touch provided by caregivers, it does bridge distances, keeping us connected around the clock. It offers the reassurance of constant support, enabling regular updates and the ability to check in on your loved ones from anywhere, whether you’re at work or away for the holidays.

Overcoming Traditional Care Limitations

Virtual care breaks down the barriers associated with traditional home care. By incorporating cutting-edge technology into our services, Connected Health ensures that everyone, no matter their location, has access to exceptional healthcare. This approach opens doors to quality care for those in remote or underserved areas, making geographical constraints a thing of the past.

Customised Care

The true essence of virtual care lies in its capacity for personalisation. Thanks to technology, care plans are meticulously tailored to meet each client’s individual needs. Every element of care is personalised, from reminders to take medication to comprehensive health assessments, guaranteeing that patients receive the most effective and relevant support.

Promoting Independence Through Enhanced Safety

Virtual care introduces a revolutionary level of safety for clients. With innovations like advanced medication management systems, clients are reminded to take their medications on time, and caregivers are alerted to missed doses. This is particularly valuable for those with memory challenges or complex medication routines, fostering independence while ensuring safety.

Instantaneous Health Monitoring for Swift Response

The capability for real-time health monitoring is a standout feature of virtual care technologies. Devices like the Feebris digital observation kit enable immediate health assessments, giving caregivers and medical professionals quick access to vital data. This facilitates the early detection of potential health issues, allowing for faster interventions and helping to prevent unnecessary hospital visits.

Keeping Families in the Loop

An essential aspect of virtual care is its role in maintaining family involvement in caregiving. Through technological solutions, family members can stay informed about their loved one’s health status, regardless of physical location. This provides peace of mind and encourages a collaborative approach to managing care.

A Cost-Effective, Time-Saving Solution

Integrating technology into home care offers an economical and efficient alternative for both clients and healthcare providers. Reducing the need for frequent in-person visits saves time and resources, allowing for the delivery of high-quality care at a reduced cost, thus making healthcare more accessible to all.

A Comprehensive Community of Care

Some of our virtual care technology includes:

YOURMeds – This medication management system supports people with reminders to take their medication as prescribed. This allows our clients to be more independent and improves their health. We send weekly refills of your medication blister packs and monitor your medication compliance in our data centre.

Feebris – The Feebris digital observations kit allows a caregiver or individual to perform a health assessment. The app can be used to monitor long-term conditions and acute episodes. It also provides instantaneous alerts for any signs of deterioration.

It’s particularly beneficial for managing chronic conditions, conducting routine follow-ups, offering initial consultations, and facilitating a seamless communication channel between patients and healthcare professionals.
