Ferndown care provider introduces digital innovation

GoodOaks Homecare in Ferndown is rolling out free digital health monitoring for all its clients.

A care provider in Ferndown is one of the first to use innovative new technology to enhance the quality of care it provides to elderly or vulnerable clients.

GoodOaks Homecare East Dorset is among the first GoodOaks branches to introduce advanced digital health monitoring using the Whzan Blue Box system. This revolutionary technology enables early detection of health concerns, reducing hospital admissions and giving peace of mind to families.

The Ferndown branch is introducing free digital health monitoring as part of its care services. This new benefit is designed to give clients and their families greater reassurance, helping people to stay safe, well, and independent at home.

The Blue Box system is used to create a personalised health baseline for a client, helping care professionals quickly identify and respond to any changes.

By offering regular health checks at no additional cost, GoodOaks is able to support early identification of potential health concerns and monitor vital signs such as blood pressure, oxygen saturation, pulse, and respiratory rate. This helps reduce the risk of hospital admissions and provides families with added confidence that their loved ones are receiving the very best care.

Adam Downer, director at GoodOaks Homecare East Dorset, said: “This technology bridges the gap between social care and healthcare. It empowers our care teams and supports better outcomes for our clients.”

GoodOaks is a national homecare provider with 28 offices throughout the UK. For more information, visit https://www.goodoakshomecare.co.uk.
