Telehealth Services

Florence

Florence brings Telehealth to any patient with a standard mobile phone.
It's unique, free and simple to use.

For Ayrshire and Arran it is used to record patient's Blood Pressure readings. Your GP practice can refer you and will provide you with a BP Monitor for you to use at home and you will be asked to text in your readings using your mobile phone. Reports are then sent to your GP practice with your results at the end of your monitoring period.
