New tech trial to monitor North Wales heart patients remotely via mobile phone
Cardiac patients in North Wales are trialling innovative new technology that allows clinicians to monitor their health and recovery via mobile phone.
Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board has teamed-up with healthtech company Huma to assess whether people with heart problems can be supported in their homes using an app that reports on their condition.
The pilot programme has been funded by Welsh Government, and Huma’s revolutionary application means any changes in the patient’s health or response to medication could be identified sooner.
The technology allows people to record their symptoms and vital signs, such as weight and blood pressure, which will be reviewed by the clinician and fed-back to the patient to record progress and any concerns.
