Global Monitoring System (GMS)
Global monitoring is the ability to use multifaceted technological advancements as a part of its strategic capabilities. In addition to monitoring event monitors, GTS has created a comprehensive, convenient and cost-effective program to help healthcare providers address the serious readmission problem. By combining several aspects of advanced existing technology and products, we can offer a comprehensive telehealth monitoring program for discharged patients as well as those individuals who through a physician’s prescription require specialized monitoring.
GTS’s remote, telemonitoring program allows us to manage a patient’s condition daily, wherever that patient may be located, within or outside the US. The program utilizes state-of-the-art technology, advanced telemetric equipment and custom designed assessments to provide effective, remote patient care.
Patients transmit daily, objective physiologic readings through highly reliable, easy to use equipment. Our advanced alert system notifies our clinical staff of any patients that transmit readings outside predefined values, prompting a call to the patient. This proactive approach reduces the number of unscheduled visits, as well as hospitalizations. GTS’s telemonitoring program promotes active patient participation, disease awareness and self-care. Patients can observe the outright benefits of taking their medicine and following their recommended guidelines.
At the core of the GTS advantage is the ability of providers having choice and options. The provider can design the global monitoring of their choice. Global monitoring includes any combination of the monitoring features available. For ease of use, convenience and efficiency, a tablet (Android, MS Windows or iOS) can be provided to view and monitor all the features.
BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR
To monitor blood pressure and heart rate while enhancing the lifestyle of hypertensive and hypotensive patients by relieving the “white coat effect” normally associated with blood pressure monitoring conducted at hospitals and clinics. A user friendly, one-step instrument, it enables physicians to conduct routine blood pressure monitoring from the comfort of their patients’ homes.
PULSE OXIMETER
A medical device that indirectly measures the oxygen saturation of a patient's blood as opposed to measuring oxygen saturation directly through a blood sample. A pulse oximeter is useful in any setting where a patient's oxygenation is unstable and for assessing a patient's need for oxygen.
WEIGHT SCALE
This trans-telephonic weight measurement device makes routine weight monitoring simple and efficient. The computerized logbook makes it easy to trace an accurately trend the users weight; this is especially effective for patients with CHF (Congestive Heart Failure) in controlling fluid retention.
CONTINUOUS POSITIVE AIRWAY PRESSURE
A CPAP apparatus is a ventilation (breathing) therapy for persons with diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea.
WIRELESS CARDIAC EVENT
The ER920W is a digital loop recorder that enhances diagnostic yield with on-board arrhythmia detection algorithms for automatic detection, recording and automatic transmission of patient data files to a service center for immediate analysis and physician attention. Transmission occurs without patient interaction. An ECG tracing can be added as an optional feature.
GLUCOMETER
A medical device for determining the approximate concentration of glucose in the blood. It is a key element of home blood glucose monitoring (HBGM) by people with diabetes mellitus or hypoglycemia. A small drop of blood, obtained by pricking the skin with a lancet, is placed on a disposable test strip that the meter reads and uses to calculate the blood glucose level. The benefits include a reduction in the occurrence rate and severity of long-term complications from hyperglycemia as well as a reduction in the short-term, potentially life-threatening complications of hypoglycemia. It has the added feature of measuring and tracking HgA1C.
