Remote Patient Monitoring
Some patients discharged from the hospital or receiving home care are now given a tablet-based Bluetooth® system with devices such as a scale, blood pressure machine and oxygen sensor so that their health can be monitored by MaineGeneral staff daily right from home. The system also gives medication reminders.
