Living with a chronic illness often requires more than the occasional visit to the doctor. Daily symptoms, medication routines, lifestyle adjustments, and unexpected flare-ups can make managing health feel overwhelming. A report by TILDA, shared that 1 in 3 people living in Ireland aged 50 and over experienced chronic pain. With such a significant portion of the population living with chronic illness or experiencing ongoing pain, having effective support solutions in place is more important than ever.
At HaloCare, we believe that proactive care is the best solution for helping clients manage their chronic illness from the comfort of home. Vital Sign Monitoring is just one aspect of HaloCare’s solution that can help make independent living possible.
Vital Sign Monitoring allows vital health information such as blood pressure, oxygen levels, glucose, and heart rate to be tracked in real time using connected devices. For people with chronic illnesses such as diabetes, COPD, heart disease, or arthritis, this data is vital for early detection, timely intervention, and better long-term outcomes.
Here are the key ways HaloCare uses Vital Sign Monitoring to help people live independently, confidently and safely at home:
HaloCare offers a variety of Vital Sign Monitoring solutions that can be used independently or as part of a customised package to ensure HaloCare meets the unique needs of each client. These include:
Through working with the client’s own clinicians and catching issues before they escalate, Vital Sign Monitoring gives peace of mind that living independently at home can be a safe option for those with chronic illnesses.
Data without support is just noise. That’s why HaloCare helps by providing a daily activity log with vital information such as, sleep levels and if clients are eating less than usual. All this information can then be shared with a wider health team to support with decision making around treatments or care plans.
Adherence to medication can be one of the biggest challenges for people with chronic conditions, particularly for those who are also living with dementia or a memory condition. HaloCare uses reminders and prompts to help ensure medication is taken correctly and on time; reducing the risk of complications while empowering the client to manage their own medication.
The HaloPad is a user-friendly tablet, developed specifically for those who might need additional support rather than using an industry standard device. What sets the HaloPad apart is it’s personalised content features including local radio and tailored exercise programmes.
Clients can use the HaloPad to join online support groups for additional advice, tips, or even just having a listening ear, to support them in their chronic management journey.
Chronic illness doesn’t just affect the individual; it impacts families too. HaloCare’s connected platform gives carers and loved one's peace of mind, knowing their relative is being monitored, supported, and safe. Tools such as the HaloPad or Daily Activity Log allow loved ones the reassurance that our clients are looking after themselves at home.
Managing a chronic illness doesn't have to mean constant worry or dependence on appointments. With the right tools, support, and information, loved ones can live confidently at home with a long-term illness.
HaloCare’s innovative vital sign monitoring and care at home solution allows loved ones to stay in control of their health and enjoy greater independence at home.
