Cardiocom's telehealth system provides an interactive opportunity to proactively manage and motivate the member towards self care. The Commander Home Telemonitoring System guides the participant through an interactive Health Check and collection of vital signs including: weight, blood pressure, glucose, and heart rate. This information is immediately transmitted via a standard phone line or cellular communication to the participant's nurse coach at Focused Health Solutions Deerfield, IL based clinical nurse call center. The participant's nurse coach reviews the information with the participant during their scheduled condition management education calls throughout the year. Focused Health Solution's tailored disease management program is available to all members who qualify as an option to their health coverage with their employer.
