Remote monitoring

Many technologies allow your provider or health care team to check your health remotely. These technologies include:

• Web-based or mobile apps for uploading data to your provider or health care team. For example, if you have diabetes, you may upload food logs, blood sugar levels and drugs that a nurse checks.
• Devices that measure and wirelessly send data, such as blood pressure, blood sugar and oxygen levels.
• Wearable devices that automatically record and send data. For example, the devices may record data such as heart rate, blood sugar, how you walk, your posture, tremors, physical activity or your sleep.
• Home monitoring devices for older people or people with dementia that can find changes in daily activities such as falls.
• Devices that send notifications to remind you to do exercises or take drugs.
