Transmission Difficulties


The new equipment that has replaced older PODs has been a step forward in remote patient monitoring in the region.  However, equipment challenges persist.  The most recent encounter involved an installation in a home with a roof made of metal.  It seemed that the metal roofing of the home, which extended into the eaves, caused difficulties with the PODs ability to relay a signal.  Some patience combined with patient flexibility aided in testing the POD in different locations around the home, resulting, eventually, in a successful transmission.  This issue could be potentially troublesome due to the unanticipated amount of extra time that the installation took.
