During a recent installation, a patient inquired as to whether their spouse could use the blood pressure cuff newly installed in their home to monitor his own blood pressure.
Although the answer was no, this is one example of a positive referral being made by a program participant due to their own involvement with and enthusiasm regarding the possibilities of remote monitoring. It has not yet been determined whether this patient's spouse will be recommended for the program by their PCP, but this demonstrates the value that some patients place on being able to monitor their health independently.
