Chennai: Gleneagles Global Hospitals & Continental Hospitals have designed Covid-19 homecare services for patients who do not require hospitalisation.
Through this “comprehensive program” designed by top experts in infectious disease management and intensive care, the patient can be monitored through an online portal and any worsening of symptoms can be identified and attended to at the earliest. This majority of patients, who do not have severe symptoms, only need to isolate themselves at home and monitor symptoms- ensuring that they do not spread the disease.
In case, a patient is having symptoms or has been diagnosed with Covid-19, s/he can reach the hospital where they will undergo a ‘risk assessment’ to evaluate their condition and judge severity of symptoms. This is an essential assessment as it highlights whether a patient is fit for homecare or requires hospitalisation.
If the patient does not require hospitalisation, they enrol for the program and are given access to a portal where they can update their daily vitals like temperature, SPO2, pulse rate etc.
