Docobo launches a new remote monitoring approach for patients with cardio-respiratory disease.

Docobo Remote Monitoring has developed and launched a new approach for patients with cardio-respiratory diseases. For the first time, clinicians can remotely assess their patients’ breathing rates and variations of breath while at home, in residential care or on virtual wards. 

This new functionality, developed by Docobo Remote Monitoring – the industry experts in remote patient monitoring – enables clinicians to track inspiration and expiration waveforms and provide accurate breathing rates. It is available within their digital health platform, DOC@HOME®, and will allow clinicians and triage teams to view integrated cardio-respiratory information via a single screen. Clinical teams can review the waveforms and add their observations and assessments via drop-down menus and free text entry to record comments and notes. A cardio-respiratory report can be passed electronically to other electronic patient record systems.

Peter Levene, Director of Clinical Research at Docobo, who has worked with the team to develop this functionality, explains: ‘The new solution will show respiration waveforms remotely recorded from patients at home, for the first time. It provides a direct indication of how patients are breathing in addition to the breath rate and whether there are underlying issues requiring intervention or support.’

Docobo has been deploying and expanding the use of its remote monitoring solution DOC@HOME to ‘the hospital without walls’ environment, through care homes, patients at home, virtual wards and acute hospitals, receiving excellent feedback. It enables clinicians and carers to deliver better care, helps patients to be more aware of their conditions and improves self-management.

Adrian Flowerday, Managing Director of Docobo comments: ‘We are very pleased to be launching this new capability which will enhance care for patients with cardio-respiratory diseases and is using remote monitoring to transform out-of-hospital care and provide the right intervention and support for patients.’
