What to Expect

These monitor systems are either wireless or wanded, and they are automated so that data is downloaded from the device using radio transmissions and communicate through a base station to the screening service or doctor’s offices. These devices can be programmed to monitor at set intervals or when the device is triggered by the condition. Physicians are notified by text message, fax, e-mail or website message and the results are downloaded into the patient’s electronic medical records.
