Sentry Telehealth Monitor - Total Solution
What it is?
A patient using Honeywell HomMed’s Sentry Telehealth Monitor can quickly collect and securely transmit data on five key vital signs: heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, temperature, and weight. The FDA Class II (hospital grade) device uses text or voice prompts to guide patients through a series of yes/no questions that allow the medical professionals monitoring them to receive a thorough health assessment.
The Sentry is compact (weighing just three pounds) and can be customized to simultaneously accept multiple peripherals, such as a glucose and peakflow meter with EV1, PT/INR, and ECG. Its swipe card feature also allows multiple users to be monitored, and data can be transmitted easily by phone or pager. The Sentry Monitor links patients and caregivers with little intrusion on the patient’s daily routine.
How it works?
It’s simple. When the Sentry Telehealth Monitor is turned on, a friendly voice guides the patient step-by-step, through the monitoring process. The patient is also asked a series of subjective questions designed to further assist clinicians in evaluating the patient’s health. Then, using a telephone line, or Honeywell HomeMed’s patented wireless pager system, the information is sent securely and confidentially to the Central Station diagnostic software.
The entire process takes less than 3 minutes. It can be performed as many as 4 times a day, and care management is available 7 days a week. There’s also a manual function that allows patients to take in-home measurements whenever they wish. Our system helps clinicians spot and address problems early to help patients avoid trips to the hospital or emergency room.
