Hawaii Healthcare Professionals Inc., a home care company, said it will start offering a “tele-home” service for patients on Kauai, Oahu and Maui.

The firm said 30 tele-home devices will allow patients to have daily monitoring as if they were visited by a nurse. The device can transmit health biometrics such as blood pressure, oxygen levels and weight along with an assessment from question sets.
Doctors and nurses will receive the information over a phone line or wireless device and use the information to catch early signs of trouble. Hawaii Healthcare said the system also allows caregivers to monitor several patients at the same time.
