Hypertension

• Millions suffer from hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure. Such a condition requires constant monitoring. We have a special monitoring device which enables you to take your blood pressure reading on a regular basis, at home or in your office.The readings are transmitted discreetly and automatically to our Monitoring Centre. If and when the readings indicate that certain parameters are exceeded, the Centre will notify you or your GP or consultant so that appropriate steps can be taken.                                  

Weight control monitoring -- For patients suffering from Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) 

• One of the manifestations of lungs filling with fluid, is an increase in weight.  Careful monitoring of weight gives early warnings of  potential problems, thus enabling physicians to prescribe diuretic drugs early in treatment of the condition. Patients suffering from CHF may have their condition monitored from the comfort of home by utilising our unique weight     scales which transmit weight (automatically and discreetly) to our centre.  The centre will monitor your weight and the trends   and / or deviations, will be transmitted on to your physician.
