Vital signs are your body's way of giving out signals about what’s going on inside the body. There are four main vital signs that will typically first be collected when you visit your GP. These are:
- Body temperature,
- Blood pressure,
- Pulse
- and respiratory rate.
Vital signs can act as early warning flags, for example if your body temperature is running higher than usual, it could potentially mean that you have an infection and will require further medical treatment.
What is Vital Sign Monitoring?
Vital Sign Monitoring is a healthcare practice that uses technology to monitor vital signs outside traditional clinical settings, such as at home or in other remote locations. This means clinicians and health professionals can access patient vitals without the individual leaving the comfort of their home.
Not only is this beneficial to help reduce GP visits, but also continuous or regular monitoring can help track the progression of an illness and can determine how medication works overtime.
How Vital Sign Monitoring allows you to take back control
Personalised Care: Actively participate in your own care by tracking health metrics using Vital Sign Monitoring and understand the impact decisions have on your health. Vital Sign Monitoring offers a very personalised health solution, as it allows clinicians to make data-informed decisions based on your specific needs to ensure the treatment you receive is best suited for you.
Improved Access to Care: Vital Sign Monitoring can also be beneficial for anyone that is living in a rural area, for those with a disability or those who are living with a chronic illness, as it means Vital Sign Monitoring can capture the essential information required without leaving the comfort of home. This helps to break down barriers to accessing healthcare and improves access to care for all.
Early Detection & improved health outcomes: Timely and accurate monitoring can lead to better health outcomes by ensuring that you receive the right care at the right time. Early detection through Vital Sign Monitoring and intervention can prevent minor issues from snowballing and becoming severe problems further down the line.
While there are always aspects of our health and wellbeing that will be out of our control, Vital Sign Monitoring provides you with the tools, so that along with the support of health professionals, you can take back control of your health.
Peace of mind: Regularly checking your vital signs can provide reassurance that your health is on track. Knowing that you have the tools to monitor and manage your health effectively can reduce stress and enhance your overall quality of life.
