Monterey, CA Caregiving And Home Health Agencies Will Benefit From Technology Provided By Cable Operators

Home health care is one of the three major verticals (along with government and education) that cable operators are touting as huge opportunities for expansion.  Earlier this month, Nizhoni Health Systems (a home health company) announced that it would be using Comcast's network.  Cable operators will be able to provide secure networks which can put home care agencies in touch with clients, and things like monitoring vital signs can be sent over secure encrypted networks to the home care agency.  Doctors would be able to check in on these patients that are at home as well.  A patient could be hooked up to a blood pressure or blood glucose monitor which could send test results directly to the physician's office.  Using nanotechnology, throat swabs could even be run to determine if the patient has the latest version of the flu without bringing them to the doctor where they could potentially infect more people.  These are all great advances which will enable clients to remain independent in their own homes while getting the advantage of personal health care monitoring without having to go to the doctor all of the time.
