Virtual Care Northern Ireland
Remote Technology-Enabled Care
Virtual healthcare uses telephones, video and mobile apps to deliver health services to patients outside a hospital. However, virtual healthcare goes beyond these technologies. Virtual healthcare refers to the actual provision of remote patient care via technology.
Connected Health is aware that not all households can accept carers entering their homes. We respect these feelings and offer virtual care as an alternative. Connected Health provides companionship calls via a smartphone to deliver safety calls, medication prompts and well-being assessments.
This will ensure that you or your loved one are safe. You can use this with physical care or as a standalone service to create a customised care plan that meets your needs.
Technology cannot replace the caregiving role of caregivers. However, technology allows us to be connected and offers 24/7 support to our clients. In addition, technology gives you peace of mind by providing regular updates and enabling you to check in on your loved ones, whether at work or on the holidays.
Breaking the Barriers of Traditional Homecare
Virtual care transcends the limitations of traditional homecare methods. By integrating advanced technology into care services, Connected Health ensures that quality healthcare is accessible even in remote or underserved areas. This approach eliminates geographical barriers, allowing clients to receive top-notch care regardless of location.
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.
Building a Community of Care
We can integrate many technologies into your or your loved one’s care package, including virtual and physical care. In addition, it can be provided as a standalone service if you have particular needs. Some of our virtual care technology includes:
