Community Health Centers (CHCs) play a vital role in providing primary care services to underserved populations, offering a lifeline to individuals who may otherwise struggle to access healthcare. However, these centers often face significant challenges, including staffing shortages and limited resources. In recent years, the advent of Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) technology has emerged as a promising solution to enhance the delivery of care in community health settings.   What are Community Health Centers (CHCs)? Community Health Centers (CHCs) are non-profit healthcare facilities that provide comprehensive primary care services to underserved communities, including low-income individuals, uninsured or underinsured populations, and those...

Offshore oil rigs are engineering marvels that enable the extraction of valuable energy resources from the depths of the sea. The world is largely oblivious to the health challenges workers face on offshore oil rigs. Every time we gun our bikes or car engines, a rig worker is behind every drop of fuel our vehicle consumes. While these rigs play a pivotal role in global energy production, they also present unique health challenges for the workers who spend extended periods at sea. Health Challenges Faced on Oil Rigs Offshore oil rigs are self-contained microcosms that operate in harsh and isolated...

Healthcare professionals worldwide rely on highly accurate patient monitors to improve their quality of care. These monitors measure five vital signs of patients that include ECG, SpO2, non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), temperature, and respiration. Patient monitors displaying these vital signs are an essential part of every clinic, hospital or healthcare organization and help doctors, nurses and operation theatre staff monitor the patient’s progress and well-being. Measuring specialized parameters In addition to the parameters listed above, healthcare professionals often require monitoring of specialized parameters that include: EtCO2 - End-tidal CO2 - carbon dioxide content in expired air IBP - Invasive blood...
