Vitals Monitoring and ADLs

Monitoring your vitals provides you with critical information regarding the status of your health. Vitals monitoring can help you assess essential functions such as your oxygen saturation, heart rate and blood pressure.   Knowing, tracking, and trending the numerical values of your vitals provides you with insight into your body's vital functions and overall well-being, helping you make informed decisions regarding the need for additional medical assistance.

Additionally, the support of devices to gather objects out of reach highly decreases risk of injury or falls. They allow you to avoid bending over or away in order to grab an item in your surroundings.
