Taking a Blood Pressure Reading
Bluetooth Wellness Devices
Wellness Devices, such as a weight scale, pulse oximeter, glucometer, ear thermometer, and/or blood pressure monitor, can be added to the system to record Health information. These Wellness Devices are battery-operated and Bluetooth-enabled to communicate wirelessly with the system.
Caregivers can log onto the Online Care Portal to view Health Readings, and setup custom Wellness Notifications and Acknowledgements.
Wireless Bluetooth
All wellness devices communicate with the system via Bluetooth. Systems that includes health devices must have a Bluetooth Antenna.
