Last year, Barry James spent a month in hospital with fluid on his lungs. Keen to get home, he agreed to use Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust’s remote monitoring service which meant that he could be cared for safely at home.
In this episode, Zoe Harris, Leicestershire Partnership’s Cardio-Respiratory Service Lead, joins Barry to discuss his experience of being cared for remotely using a technology platform and how the COVID-19 pandemic is driving forward the rapid expansion of remote monitoring schemes.
Take a look at the Remote monitoring for patients with chronic conditions in the Midlands case study to find out more about this project.
