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.
