The COVID Oximetry@home (C@OH) service has been designed to support identification and management of patients at risk of deterioration. It enables healthcare professionals to monitor patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 in their own homes.
The service allows patients to recover at home and reduces the need for face-to-face contact, minimising the spread of the virus while freeing up staff time and beds. Thorough monitoring also reduces the risk of hospital admissions.
