Home Monitoring for Post Surgery Heart Patients | UCLA Vital Signs

UCLA heart-surgery patients now are receiving an unusual type of follow-up care after they return home from the hospital. Rather than a phone call to and out how they’re doing, patients are being equipped with video teleconferencing technology and paired with a nurse practitioner who places video calls at defined intervals, depending on their level of risk, to do a visual check of their recovery. Through UCLA’s new cardiac telehealth program, patients also are being equipped upon discharge with a pre-programmed mobile device that includes a Bluetooth weight scale, pulse oximeter and heart-rate monitor. The device helps patients know what medications they should be taking and when, as well as providing verbal and visual reminders to regularly log their physiological information so that the healthcare team can ensure they are progressing appropriately.
