Remote monitoring

A variety of technologies enable your doctor or health care team to monitor your health remotely. These technologies include:

• Web-based or mobile apps for uploading information, such as blood glucose readings, to your doctor or health care team
• Devices that measure and wirelessly transmit information, such as blood pressure, blood glucose or lung function
• Wearable devices that automatically record and transmit information, such as heart rate, blood glucose, gait, posture control, tremors, physical activity or sleep patterns
• Home monitoring devices for older people or people with dementia that detect changes in normal activities such as falls
