How Does Home Geriatric Patient Monitoring Service Treat?

The patient's blood pressure, pulse, temperature, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation are monitored. Medication use, nutrition, fluid consumption, mobility status, level of consciousness and daily care needs are evaluated. If there is a change in health status, the patient's relatives are informed.
