Virtual Care Northern Ireland

Breaking the Barriers of Traditional Homecare

Virtual healthcare leverages telephones, video, and mobile apps to deliver health services to patients outside of traditional hospital settings. However, it extends beyond these technologies to encompass the actual provision of remote patient care, ensuring continuous support and attention to health needs.

At Connected health, we recognise that not all households are comfortable with in-person visits from carers. to respect these preferences, we offer virtual care as an alternative, providing services like companionship calls, safety check-ins, medication prompts, and well-being assessments through smartphones. this ensures that you or your loved ones are safe, whether virtual care is used as a stand alone service or combined with physical care to create a customised care plan.

While technology cannot fully replace the essential role of caregivers, it enhances our ability to stay connected and deliver 24/7 support. It provides peace of mind through regular updates and allows families to check in on their loved ones and form anywhere- whether at work or on holiday.

Virtual care transcends the limitations of traditional homecare by integrating advanced technology into healthcare services. Connected Health ensures that quality care is accessible even in remote or undeserved areas, eliminating geographical barriers and guaranteeing that clients receive the best possible support, not matter what they are.

Personalised Care at Your Fingertips

The essence of virtual care lies in its personalisation. Technology enables care plans to be tailored specifically to each individual’s needs. From medication reminders to health assessments, every aspect of care is customised, ensuring clients receive the most relevant and effective support.

Enhanced Safety and Independence

The groundbreaking feature of virtual care is the enhanced safety it provides. Technologies like medication management systems remind clients to take their medicines and alert caregivers in case of missed doses. This feature particularly benefits clients with memory issues or complex medication schedules, promoting independence while ensuring safety.

Real-time Health Monitoring and Rapid Response

Virtual care technologies enable real-time health monitoring, offering a proactive approach to healthcare. Devices like the Feebris digital observations kit allow immediate health assessments, providing caregivers and medical professionals with instant data. This capability facilitates early detection of health issues, enabling quicker responses and potentially preventing hospital readmissions.

Keeping Families Connected

Virtual care also plays a crucial role in keeping families involved in the care process. Through technology, family members can stay updated on their loved one’s health status, regardless of their physical location. This connectivity brings peace of mind to families and fosters a collaborative approach to care.

Cost-Effective and Time-Efficient

Technology in-home care can be an economical and accessible solution for clients and healthcare providers. By eliminating frequent in-person visits and saving both time and resources, technology allows clients to receive high-quality care at lower costs – making healthcare more accessible.
