In many cases, monitoring is part of routine healthcare, for example, before or after surgery. Routine monitoring can reveal abnormal readings that need attention, but vital signs and other physiological readings often remain within normal parameters. Of course, we want patients to remain stable, but when all vital signs are normal, it raises the question: can patient monitoring be done in a more convenient and efficient way?
Under the existing system, there are a few ways of carrying out patient monitoring:
All of these options have considerable time and cost implications. Patients have to wait at home all day for a visiting nurse or doctor, travel to their GP surgery, or be admitted to or extend their stay in, hospital. The healthcare team might need to provide a hospital bed or clinic space and cover the time and cost of the clinicians carrying out the in-person monitoring.
To find a way around this problem, we created Camascope Precision Monitoring.
Camascope Precision Monitoring is an easy-to-use, reliable remote monitoring system that provides clinical information for all stakeholders, including patients, hospital clinicians and GPs. It reduces the need for in-person monitoring by sending physiological readings from a patient’s wearable monitoring device to a central portal accessible by the clinical team.
Any healthcare team that needs to monitor patients can benefit from the Camascope Precision Monitoring system. However, we’ve found that hospital trusts, particularly, see significant advantages in adopting the Camascope Precision Monitoring system.
It is no longer necessary for a patient to take up a hospital bed for pre- or post-op monitoring. This one factor alone improves the patient journey, increases bed availability, and reduces staffing pressures for hospital trusts and community-based practitioners.
The Camascope system enables a patient’s early discharge under the watchful eye of their healthcare team using remote monitoring and our Virtual Ward model. Camascope Precision Monitoring instantly picks up any concerning changes, and the patient and clinicians are alerted, enabling them to take action if necessary.
The Camascope team has decades of experience working in different capacities in the healthcare sector, so we understand the needs of our customers. We provide full training on the Camascope Precision Monitoring system. Our Precision Monitoring Device is pre-configured to work straight out of the box, but we can also provide patient support if necessary.
Once you’re all set up, we continue to provide ongoing support to ensure you and your patients are comfortable and confident using the monitoring device and system portal.
We know that urgent scenarios happen at any time of the day or night, so our support team is available to take your calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
