Remote patient monitoring device distributor Propell Health has won a contract with Perth’s East Metropolitan Health Service (EMHS) to provide wearable technology for patients awaiting clinical assessment in emergency departments.

The solution aims to monitor vital signs and identify changes in the patient’s condition, including early signs of patient deterioration. The technology will be rolled out at Royal Perth Hospital (RPH) and Armadale Health Service (AHS) under the HIVE (Health in a Virtual Environment) remote monitoring service.
