Hank Horton – My Story
I was waiting for her primary doctor visit the next week, however I was worrying about my mom’s health. As her caregiver, I was responsible for making sure she was safe and healthy. She had a blood pressure monitor and her measurements were trending towards low. I ordered a pulse oximeter and when it arrived her Sp02 was 74%-very low! The doctor worked her in and noted her poor vital signs and that she had pitting edema in her lower legs so I rushed her to the ER and she was admitted. She spent 5 days in the hospital and was diagnosed with CHF and aspiration pneumonia.
I am convinced that a debilitating hospital stay could have been avoided if she had the technology in place that is now available. Her vitals that were transmitted from the blood pressure cuff and a pulse oximeter to her doctor through Remote Patient Monitoring could have alerted her doctor to come in for a chest x-ray, the caregiver app I was monitoring would alert me that there was a problem, and other home smart technology could have helped her to better age in place.
