As aged care providers, we understand the importance of maintaining safety, comfort, and dignity for older adults. Whether you’re a home carer, a nurse in a residential care facility, or a health coordinator working in community care, one thing remains constant—you need the right tools. At Livingstone International, we offer a wide range of medical monitoring devices that make aged care more intelligent, safer, and more connected.
In today’s fast-paced world, remote patient monitoring devices have become essential. These devices enable you to track vital health data without requiring face-to-face interaction. It’s about giving you better control while empowering older adults to live with confidence.
Let’s explore how you can use these tools to enhance remote safety in aged care. We’ve selected the best options from our range of aged care equipment products to help you get started.
Why Remote Monitoring in Aged Care Matters
Caring for ageing individuals isn’t just about support—it’s about timely action. Many health issues in elderly patients can be prevented or managed effectively when detected early. Learn more about government-supported aged care resources and how remote monitoring aligns with modern care practices. Remote medical monitoring devices give you that edge.
You no longer need to wait for symptoms to become visible. With real-time updates and alerts, you can respond quickly and minimise the risk of emergencies. It also reduces hospital visits and helps aged care workers maintain better routines.
1. Digital Blood Pressure Monitors – Reliable Heart Health Tracking
Monitoring blood pressure is critical in aged care. Seniors often have hypertension, and uncontrolled levels can lead to strokes or heart problems.
Our digital blood pressure monitors offer:
- One-touch operation for quick checks
- Clear digital screens
- Cuff adjustments for frail or thin arms
- Memory storage for up to 60 readings
You can use these at home or in residential facilities. They’re compact, portable, and easy to use—even for older users themselves.
Add to your aged care essentials to track trends and avoid health surprises.
2. Pulse Oximeters – Oxygen Monitoring Made Easy
With respiratory conditions more common in the elderly, it is essential to monitor oxygen levels closely.
Our fingertip pulse oximeters measure:
- Blood oxygen saturation (SpO2)
- Heart rate
- Pulse strength
They’re non-invasive, painless, and give instant readings. These are especially important for patients with COPD, asthma, or post-COVID recovery.
You can set alert ranges, so you’re notified if levels fall below a safe point. That way, you’re never caught off guard.
3. Digital Thermometers – Quick Fever Detection
Sometimes, it’s the simplest tools that make the most significant difference. A digital thermometer is a basic but vital part of your medical kit.
We stock a variety of options:
- Infrared forehead thermometers for no-contact checks
- Ear thermometers with disposable covers
- Fast-reading oral thermometers
Use these to detect infections or changes in condition early. Elderly patients may not always exhibit a fever clearly, so regular checks can help you stay one step ahead.
4. ECG Monitors – Track Irregular Heartbeats Remotely
For aged care residents with heart issues, monitoring the heart rhythm at home is now possible without bulky machines.
Our portable ECG monitors:
- Fit in your palm
- Connect to apps for data sharing
- Alert you to arrhythmias or abnormal rhythms
This is where remote patient monitoring devices really shine. You can share reports with GPs or cardiologists instantly and get professional advice without needing to leave the house.
5. Smart Scales – More Than Just Weight
Did you know that changes in weight can indicate early signs of fluid retention, muscle loss, or other health conditions?
Our smart digital scales do more than show weight. They also measure:
- Body fat percentage
- BMI
- Water content
- Muscle mass
These figures are beneficial for dieticians, nurses, or carers tracking health goals. Most of our models connect to your phone or tablet, storing results over time.
6. Glucose Monitoring Systems – Diabetes Care at Home
Diabetes is common in older adults, and monitoring blood glucose levels should be easy and stress-free.
Our blood glucose monitoring kits include:
- Compact digital readers
- Pre-coded test strips
- Lancets for minimal discomfort
- Easy display screens
You can measure blood sugar levels in seconds and log readings daily. This helps you keep your diet and medication in check without the fuss.
7. Fall Detection Devices – For Immediate Response
Falls are one of the leading causes of injury among seniors. Prevention is key, but if a fall does occur, a swift response can save lives.
We offer fall detection alert systems:
- Wearable alarms (watches or pendants)
- Smart sensors installed in rooms
- Automated alerts to phones or emergency services
You can give your loved ones more independence without compromising on safety. These systems ensure help is never too far away.
8. Remote Monitoring Platforms – All Data in One Place
Tired of juggling different devices and readings?
We provide integrated platforms that connect with our medical monitoring devices. They:
- Sync with mobile apps
- Store data securely
- Allow sharing with medical professionals
- Set reminders for medication or readings
