Chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and arthritis are prevalent among older adults and can greatly impact their quality of life. Chronic conditions, also known as long-term conditions are more prevalent in older people in the UK. According to Kingsfund, 58% of people over 60 years of age suffer from one or more long term condition. Managing these conditions requires consistent monitoring and adherence to medication regimens, which can be a challenge for older adults who may have difficulty accessing regular healthcare appointments or remembering to take their medication on time. PCL Connect is a digital health platform that is transforming elder care by making Chronic condition management more convenient, efficient, and effective.

Remote Health monitoring

PCL Connect uses medical grade remote monitoring devices such as blood pressure cuffs and weight scales to allow older adults and their care providers to easily and accurately track their health vitals from the comfort of their own homes. These monitoring devices connect seamlessly to the PCL Health platform, which shares health data to the care team for analysis and adjustment of treatment plans as needed. Remote monitoring reduces the need for older adults to visit the doctor in person, which can be particularly beneficial for those with mobility issues or living in remote areas.

Tools for Effective Chronic Condition Management

In addition to remote monitoring, PCL Connect includes a range of tools to help older adults manage their chronic conditions more effectively. This includes medication reminders, alerts, and a PCL Caregiver app, as well as connected health care for family members. The app reminds the older adult when it is time to take their medication and alerts caregivers if a dose is missed. This not only helps the older adult to manage their medication regimen more effectively but also reduces the risk of adverse events caused by medication non-compliance.

User-Friendly Interface

PCL Connect is designed to be user-friendly and easy to use, which can be a major concern for older adults who may have difficulty mastering new technology. The platform features a simple interface and intuitive navigation, making it easy for older adults to access the features they need. PCL Connect's user-friendly interface ensures that older adults can easily manage their chronic conditions with minimal technical knowledge.

Digital Health is the future

Overall, PCL Connect's digital health platform is revolutionizing elder care by making it more convenient, efficient, and effective. By leveraging technology, older adults with chronic conditions can receive the care they need to manage their conditions more effectively, all while remaining in the comfort of their own homes. PCL Connect is an excellent solution for older adults who may have difficulty accessing regular healthcare appointments or remembering to take their medication on time.
