What is HomMed?
 HomMed
Health Monitoring System: Imagine the sense of security and the peace
of mind you would have knowing that your health or the health of your
loved one is being monitored by
a registered nurse on a daily basis. Piedmont Home Care (PHC) can now
provide you or your loved one with this sense of security using state-of-the-art
telehealth technology from HomMed. HomMed is the leader in the rapidly-growing
home patient telemonitoring industry.
How It Works
 The HomMed Health Monitoring System is
a simple-to-use health monitor that collects
patient’s clinical vital signs every day. Using voice prompts and visual
cues the monitor will guide the patient through the vital signs process measuring
weight, temperature, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, and pulse. To get
a more comprehensive input on patient’s health, the monitor will also ask
up to ten health related questions. HomMed Monitor allows for multiple peripheral
attachments, such as glucose meter, spirometer, PT/INR System, ECG unit, etc.
All of the above data is immediately transmitted to our agency for a clinical
review. If the data collected indicates a need for intervention or if the user
fails to collect their vital signs when they are prompted to, appropriate action
is taken and members of the care team may be contacted for intervention.
Benefits
HomMed Health Monitoring System:
- Provides sense of security for the patient and patient’s family knowing
that somebody is watching over their health every day.
- Provides care based
on patient needs, not only as nurse’s schedule
allows.
- Lets the doctor adjust medications or diet based on trend over
time data.
- Catches irregularities early, before they become problems:
reduces emergent care episodes keeping the patient out of the ER and
in the physician
office.
- Acts as an educational tool to reinforce medication use and
diet restrictions.
The HomMed System is beneficial for almost anybody, especially helpful to
those who have heart disease, lung disease, high blood pressure, renal failure,
advanced diabetes or other diseases where small changes in condition have large
health risks.
The HomMed Health Monitoring System is an FDA Class II Medical Device.
Located in the Milwaukee, Wis. area, HomMed was founded
in 1998 to provide innovative and cost-effective solutions for chronic illness.
