What is Healthy You?
HealthyYou is a remote monitoring service, supporting clinicians as part of a remote care team to better manage people with a long term condition. You’ll be asked to upload vital readings relevant to your condition, from home with a device. The care team watch for any trends that indicate signs of a health decline, and intervene when necessary with the appropriate care. Preventing the need for unplanned GP appointments or in more extreme cases, admission into hospital. Our aim is to keep you healthy at home and better support you in managing your condition.

- The care team reach out to you when escalation is required, rather than you having to call the surgery.
