Graphnet Health Wins Jersey Contract for Island-Wide Remote Monitoring Service
Graphnet Health has been chosen by Jersey's Family Nursing & Home Care to deliver the island's first large-scale remote monitoring service.
This groundbreaking project, funded through the Impact Jersey CareTech Challenge program and facilitated by Digital Jersey, marks a significant step forward in healthcare innovation.
The contract will enable Family Nursing & Home Care (FNHC) to utilize Graphnet's Remote Monitoring solution, powered by Luscii, to monitor the health of frail and vulnerable islanders in their homes and community settings. This initiative is part of a substantial £800,000 CareTech grant awarded to FNHC for implementing a digital monitoring system for older residents in Jersey.
Rosemarie Finley, Chief Executive of Family Nursing & Home Care, shared her insights: "As a community nursing organization, we witness firsthand the profound impact of frailty, falls, poorly managed wounds, and long-term conditions like diabetes on our patients and their families."
"This project equips our teams with a powerful new tool to closely monitor individuals in their own homes, all without placing unnecessary strain on patients or staff. By leveraging Graphnet's remote monitoring technology, supported by the CareTech Challenge funding, we will be able to detect early warning signs, intervene more promptly, and assist more islanders in maintaining their independence, safety, and well-being for extended periods."
Amy Taylor, Chief Operating Officer at Digital Jersey, emphasized the significance of the CareTech Challenge: "The CareTech Challenge was established to support practical, scalable digital solutions that enhance the lives of older islanders. Collaborating with FNHC and Graphnet, we are integrating proven remote monitoring technology into Jersey's unique health system, tailoring it to our island's specific needs."
"If the pilot program achieves the expected outcomes, this model has the potential to be expanded across various pathways, settings, and segments of our population in the years ahead."
Tom Muller, Remote Monitoring Lead at Graphnet Health, expressed his enthusiasm: "We are thrilled to be partnering with Family Nursing & Home Care and Digital Jersey on our first island-wide remote monitoring deployment. Jersey's tradition of innovation makes this project an inspiring example of a self-governing Crown Dependency utilizing data and digital tools to revolutionize healthcare delivery."
"Graphnet Remote Monitoring will enable FNHC clinicians to focus their efforts on the most critical cases while providing patients with the reassurance that their health is being continuously monitored. We are eager to witness the positive impact this will have on frailty, falls, wound care, and diabetes management, and to support the plans to scale the service across the island."
This collaboration between Graphnet Health, Family Nursing & Home Care, and Digital Jersey exemplifies how technology can transform healthcare, improve patient outcomes, and empower individuals to age with dignity and independence.
