Remote Patient Care

Healthcare is evolving, and so are the ways we care for patients. Remote Patient Care allows patients to receive support and monitoring from their care team while remaining in the comfort of their own home or community.

Using connected technology, care teams can securely monitor health information, communicate with patients, and respond when additional support or intervention may be needed. This helps patients stay connected without always needing to visit a hospital or clinic.

Remote Patient Care aims to:

• Support earlier identification of changes in a patient's health.
• Help reduce avoidable hospital admissions and emergency department presentations.
• Empower patients to take a more active role in managing their health and wellbeing.
• Improve continuity of care between hospitals, homes, and community-based services.
• Enable healthcare teams to monitor agreed health measures and receive alerts when readings fall outside expected ranges.

• Your clinician will invite you to download the Miya Care app and give you any devices you need to support your monitoring.
• You’ll be asked to record simple checks (including symptoms, device readings, short questions); your team reviews them regularly and will contact you if anything needs attention. Your care team will show you how to use everything.
• Remote patient care complements in-person care; it gives your care team extra ways to monitor your health and intervene when needed.
• Where it is clinically appropriate, your care team will explain why remote patient care is being recommended, answer your questions, and only invite you with your consent.
• Miya Care is a secure app that allows you to communicate with your care team. Your responses are sent securely to your care team, who can view them through a clinical dashboard.

This app makes it easier for you to stay engaged with your health through practical monitoring tasks, and provides your care team with a comprehensive dashboard to monitor your journey.
