Physiological

Huma enables care teams to collect important health data for remote patient monitoring to help them advise and make decisions about their patients' healthcare plan. The following modules record physiological data points which are either input manually by the patient or using devices that are synced with the Huma App.

How it works

From the Huma App, patients enter their health data into the module according to the schedule indicated - setting reminders to help them with this schedule if needed. Historic data showing trends in the patient's evolution is also available to view in some of the modules.

This data is displayed for care teams within the Huma Portal, with anomalous or concerning data highlighted to aid with prioritisation. Care teams can then feed back to the patient with their observations and recommendations.

📄️ Blood Glucose

For many people, regular blood glucose monitoring is an important part of managing conditions like diabetes.

📄️ Blood Pressure

Maintaining normal blood pressure is important for a healthy heart and body. Untreated, high blood pressure can lead to health conditions. The Blood Pressure module helps patients and their care teams work together to keep their blood pressure within normal limits.

📄️ Body Measurement

Body measurements can be used to calculate risk of weight-related and metabolic health problems. Waist and hip circumference help determine the body fat content in a patient's midsection. From this data, a waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) is calculated to estimate the body fat content in the midsection. By using a ratio, WHR adjusts for different body shapes. Visceral fat measures the fat in and around the midsection, which plays an important part in protecting vital organs. Total body fat is a measure of how much of your body mass is made up of essential body fat and storage body fat. Too much or too little visceral fat or body fat can cause health problems. Both can be regulated through a balanced diet and regular exercise.

📄️ Electrocardiograph (ECG)

An ECG is often used alongside other tests to help diagnose and monitor conditions affecting the heart. The ECG module records the patient's heart rhythm and electrical activity to look for irregularities.

📄️ Heart Rate

Depending on which source of data the readings come from, the Heart Rate module can be used to collect heart rate, heart rate variability and classification. For heart rate, the module records how many times a patient’s heart beats per minute. A healthy heart rate is between 60 and 100 bpm but can be affected by certain heart conditions, stress, anxiety, etc.

📄️ Oxygen Saturation

The patient’s blood oxygen level measures the percentage of oxygen in the blood. The Oxygen Saturation module allows patients to monitor their blood oxygen level and share this data with care teams.

📄️ Peak Flow

Peak flow is a measurement of how quickly you can blow air out for your lungs and is used to assess whether airways are narrowed from respiratory conditions such as asthma. With the Peak Flow module, patients can monitor their condition and care teams can track for any decline or improvement.

📄️ Respiratory Rate

Respiratory rate measures the number of breaths per minute and is a vital measurement that can be used to help assess the risk of various health conditions.

📄️ Sleep

The sleep module helps to track different aspects of sleep such as sleep stages, length and how a patient feels about their sleep.

📄️ Steps

Physical exercise is a good measure of a patient's health. Walking helps patients retain a certain level of physical fitness, even if their sickness or health condition prevents them from more intense forms of exercise.

📄️ Temperature

Body temperature is a vital sign used to monitor a patient and to ensure safe and effective health care.

📄️ Weight

Helping Patients manage their weight is critical for good health as it can lower the risk of many conditions and ailments.

📄️ Weight and BMI

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of whether a patient is a healthy weight for their height. BMI can be an important indicator of risk factors of certain health conditions and can be an important vital to keep track of for some patients.
