The government of Chihuahua signed the "Salud Digital, personas seguras" agreement with Dell technology company to provide telemedicine equipment for monitoring COVID patients at home.
As of November 9, the service is available through the "Salud Digital, personas seguras" platform, which provides access to COVID patients to remote consultations with physicians. The technology used is capable of simultaneously monitoring up to 5,000 patients who have mild symptoms or who have been previously cared for and will continue treatment at home.
The service consists of tele-monitoring for patients in home isolation using an electronic device and a mobile application. Patients who have tested positive for COVID-19 will be treated remotely to continue their recovery from home, through this technology.
In the application, health professionals will be able to monitor the evolution of patients. "In the midst of a lot of bad news, this is a very good one for Chihuahua society in general and rather for the whole of Mexican society, because with what we are going to implement here, it will indisputably generate a very important reference for public health care with the use of new technologies," said Chihuahua Governor Javier Corral.
For monitoring will be used a web portal that will show the oxygen levels in the blood of patients, blood pressure, heart rate and temperature in real time. To do this each patient will receive a monitoring kit that includes the pulse oximeter, thermometers and a baumanometer, the Dell company will provide the necessary devices for the development of the project.
In this way the Chihuahua government will provide doctor-led monitoring without patients leaving their home.
