Living with a chronic lung condition means paying close attention to your symptoms in between visits with your pulmonologist. However, changes in breathing, oxygen levels, and other symptoms can happen gradually, making them easy to miss until they become more serious.
Dr. Nehal Mehta and Dr. Prashant Patel at Respacare in Bridgewater, New Jersey, understand the challenges of monitoring lung health outside the doctor’s office. That’s why we offer Huma remote patient monitoring, a convenient way to track your lung health from home.
By monitoring your health remotely, we can find concerning trends sooner, make quick adjustments to your treatment plan, and help you stay healthier while reducing unnecessary office visits and trips to the emergency room.
Here’s how Huma remote monitoring works and how it helps us provide more personalized care.
Huma is a secure remote monitoring platform that lets our medical professionals monitor your health in between office visits. It’s an easy way to share important health information with us without leaving home.
Described as a “hospital at home,” Huma uses medical devices to collect important information about your lung health. Some of the devices include spirometers to measure lung function, pulse oximeters to monitor blood oxygen levels, and health tags that track your heart rate and activity.
The devices transmit the information to the Huma app, where you can also record symptoms or other concerns. Our care team accesses and reviews the data regularly, looking for changes that require medical attention.
Huma remote monitoring provides valuable insight into your respirator health. Things we track include:
The platform helps us understand how your lungs respond to different daily activities, providing a more complete picture of your overall respiratory health.
Many lung conditions change gradually, making subtle declines in function difficult to notice on your own. Remote monitoring provides objective, real-time data that helps us identify trends before they cause more serious symptoms.
This information allows us to:
Early detection and timely treatment may help prevent complications, reduce ER visits, and improve your overall quality of life.
Huma remote monitoring benefits anyone living with a chronic breathing disorder. Some of the conditions that benefit from Huma remote monitoring include:
We may also recommend Huma to monitor recovery from respiratory infections, such as pneumonia or COVID-19, to help guide ongoing care.
At Respacare, we’re committed to using the latest medical technology to provide the highest quality of care for our patients. Huma remote monitoring allows us to stay connected with you between appointments, identify problems sooner, and help you manage your lung health with greater confidence.
