INS is committed to the development of various eHealth technologies to support quality healthcare for improved health and wellbeing.

What are eHealth, TeleHealth, TeleCare and Telemedicine?

eHealth is the electronic management of health information to deliver safer, more efficient, better quality healthcare. Our eHealth offerings help to create a comprehensive Electronic Patient Record, which enables the communication of patient data between different healthcare professionals (GPs, specialists, etc) in real time, so it’s always up-to-date.

TeleHealth refers to a system which enables the clinical management of an individual’s condition at a distance or in their own home. For example, our Intuito™ technology can enable a patient to monitor their own vital signs, such as blood pressure, blood glucose level, pulse rate, or temperature. The nurses in our remote monitoring centre can monitor these readings and warn a clinician if the measurements fall outside the expected parameters This helps empower patients by enabling them to take control over vital aspects of their health, and it can also help to reduce pressure on acute services.

TeleCare is a service that enables people, especially older and more vulnerable individuals, to live independently in their own home. With INS LifeGuard medical and emergency alarms, these people can live with greater confidence, peace of mind and dignity in their own homes knowing that help is available at the press of a button, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. INS LifeGuard services can be combined with other forms of care and support to create a comprehensive and balanced TeleCare package.

TeleMedicine is the practice of medical care using interactive audio visual and data communications. This includes the delivery of medical care, diagnosis, consultation and treatment, as well as health education and the transfer of medical data. Our Intuito™ technology allows audio or video conferencing with our Nurses at any time of the day or night, so help is always available when you need it.
