In a groundbreaking innovation, Jersey Island has prepared for a digital overhaul of community healthcare by introducing remote health monitoring services.
As they think about the health concerns, the FNHC for family nursing and home care has introduced an application called “Luci” by GraphNet, which allows nurses to monitor patients’ vital signs from home.
FNHC is introducing a new digital remote health monitoring system for Jersey Island’s older residents.
As reported by BBC, GraphNet Health has been selected by Jersey’s FNHC to use its monitoring solution to track the health of vulnerable islanders at home and in the community.
The initiative is part of an £800,000 CareTech grant awarded to FNHC to roll out the digital system for older residents on the island.
FNHC CEO Rosemarie Finley said the project was “a powerful way” to monitor people in their own homes.
“As a community nursing organization, we see first-hand the impact frailty, falls, poorly cared for wounds and long-term conditions such as diabetes can have on our patients and their families.”
“By using GraphNet’s remote monitoring technology, supported by the CareTech Challenge funding, we will be able to spot early warning signs, intervene earlier and help more Islanders stay independent, safe and healthy for longer,” Finley added.
The ‘Digital Jersey’-funded program aims to improve outcomes, relieve pressure on nurses and help them prioritize who needs support most urgently, FNHC said.
Jersey Health Secretary Tom Binet said he hoped to roll out more digital platforms like ‘Luci’ across the healthcare system.
