The unforeseen circumstances of the past year have resulted in the surge of demand for home healthcare monitoring. This trend has revolutionized preventive healthcare for people of all age groups specifically led by the middle-aged. Also known as physiological monitoring, this method of monitoring health involves the use of home health devices and other digital technologies that can be used to assess and capture health-related data. Remote home healthcare is penetrating geographies across a wide segment and serving people of a wide age group. The main aim is to minimize the number of deaths or hospitalizations happening as a result of preventable diseases like CVDs. 

Omron has been proactive for a long time in its approach to preventive healthcare. The Omron Gen Zero vision aims at eliminating cardiac attacks.

Hypertension is the leading preventable cause of death amongst other heart diseases. ¹  Obesity and weight gain are also associated with hypertensive and other heart-related risks. Consistently monitoring heart health and regular consultation can help in diagnosing and regulating heart disorders. Assessment of health data through remote healthcare monitoring can help in deciding the right treatment course for the management of heart diseases.

On a global level, the Vital Sight Remote Patient Monitoring program by Omron focuses on empowering those who are committed towards holistic health and wish to reduce the chances of strokes. Under this program connected medical devices are used for patient health monitoring and assessment from the comfort of their homes also known as Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM). It is a patient-centric program where the doctors identify the patients and assist them with various therapies and device usage.

The Vital Sight Remote Patient Monitoring Program allows health experts to monitor their patient’s health using Omron home health care devices and assess their EMR (electronic medical records).
