TELEMONITORING

This area of home health services is the new gem to the industry, though it has been around for over a decade now. The rise in its’ popularity is due to an increased amount of chronically ill patients now on home health services, and because of the COVID-19 pandemic the world has been dealing with since the first few months of 2020 to date.

Often times, sensitive patients, and/or those familiar with experienced use of their health monitoring equipment (scales, glucometers, oximeters, blood pressure monitors, heart monitors, sleep monitors, etc.) will choose this option as a way to reduce inbound traffic in their homes and possible exposure. Even with the guidelines and careful practices of Star Healthcare of Texas staff, exposure is still very possible. Especially to the immunocompromised.

Star Healthcare of Texas offers telehealth and telemonitoring, mixed with physical visits to clients who opt in, and have routine visits without other complicating factors. Such conditions that can be monitored remotely are:

• High Blood Pressure/Hypertension

• Diabetes

• Weight fluctuations

• Heart Disease

• Asthma
