Telehealth system.(PRODUCT spotlight)

WebVMC's RemoteNurse[TM] and RemoteAccess[TM] are part of a software-based, HIPAA-compliant telehealth system. RemoteNurse allows the resident to interact with the system by touching the device's screen, and a built-in speaker allows the system to communicate to the resident verbalized assessment questions and instructions for using the measurement devices, including a blood pressure monitor, glucometer, scale, fluid monitor, pulse oximeter, and digital camera for documenting wound care progression. The system gives residents instructions both visibly and audibly and can run in multiple languages.

RemoteAccess is the Web interface for accessing resident information. Each user must log in to the encrypted Web site with a unique user name and password. Caregivers can set thresholds on answers to assessment questions and measurement values, and are notified by e-mail, interactive pager, or cell phone if any answers or values do not align with the resident's care plan. The system, which generates detailed reports, allows unlimited assessment questions that can be customized by disease state, and caregivers can send residents an unlimited number of daily reminders.
