Home Monitoring for Post-Hospital COPD Patients
Want to know more?
Scenario
Roger, 78 years old, lives alone following discharge one week ago after an acute COPD exacerbation complicated by pneumonia. As part of his post-discharge care plan, he wears a respiratory monitoring device that continuously tracks respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, activity level, and cough frequency. A home health nurse is assigned to remotely monitor this data stream, identify early warning signs, and escalate care when needed. To ensure safe and proactive care, the nurse must also understand key hospitalization details including physician instructions, medication changes, BiPAP adherence, and symptom progression.
How Realize-365 Helps
Instead of overwhelming the nurse with raw, unfiltered data, Realize 365 intelligently highlights clinically relevant trends such as “resting respiratory rate has increased over the past 3 days” or “nocturnal SpO2 dropped below 90 percent on 4 of the last 5 nights.” The platform also generates a clear, chronological timeline summarizing key clinical events from the hospital stay.
Clinical Impact
With Realize 365, the home health nurse can immediately interpret meaningful changes in the patient’s condition without manually reviewing records or analyzing data. The unified summary of hospitalization and real-time insights ensure informed, timely interventions that reduce risk and improve outcomes.
