This latest LifeMed app from NewWave Health is for patients suffering long-term or chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension.
LifeMed is a digital remote health monitoring service for patients that are registered with a participating hospital or clinic and are diagnosed with Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes, Gestational Diabetes or Hypertension. It empowers patients to manage their own condition from the comfort of home, work, school, holidays or anywhere.
With the LifeMed app patients already diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes or Hypertension are able to monitor their blood glucose levels, blood pressure and general well being without having to visit the health centre.
The data captured via this app is uploaded to the LifeMed Clinical Portal at your participating hospital, where qualified doctors can monitor your progress and make timely interventions if required. This might include changes to diet or exercise, help or advice or even modifications to medication and arranging clinic appointments.
Please note that this is not a 24x7 monitored service and is not used for identifying emergency treatments. If you are feeling unwell you must not rely on the app and contact your emergency services as soon as possible.
Once registered, you will then be able to use the app to take regular readings which may be several times per day, daily, weekly or longer depending on your particular circumstances and what your doctor advises.
These will be uploaded to your doctor where the data can be used to assess your progress on a regular basis (not in real-time) by qualified clinical staff. Your doctor will inform you of how frequently your readings may be assessed. Do not rely on this service for emergency situations as it is only designed as a monitoring tool to check your illness is under control.
Remote health monitoring with LifeMed empowers you, the patient, to take control of managing your own condition. It gives peace of mind and enables you to get on with your everyday life without the need for regular clinic check-ups.
LifeMed is brought to you by NewWave Health Sdn Bhd which is a joint-venture collaboration between N2W Sdn Bhd (a subsidiary of Johor Corporation) and SmartMed Global Ltd of the UK.
