INS COVID-19 Support, Vital Healthcare You Can Rely On
INS LifeGuard • January 23, 2022
We’ve reached a point in our healthcare system where it’s juggling extreme workforce shortages alongside a vast number of patients with COVID-19.
INS LifeGuard’s experienced nurses and other healthcare professionals are here 24 hours a day, seven days a week and with a high number of residential aged care residents currently affected with COVID-19, we have been receiving high call volumes that are COVID related.
Home Care Services
INS understands the importance of being able to check on the ones you care for just to make sure that everything’s okay and we also understand that carers may need additional tools to improve their ability to provide adequate support. INS LifeGuard's technology alongside the support of INS LifeGuard nurses provides a valuable solution during these tough times.
This includes:
Welfare Checks
Both regular welfare checks for those being discharged from the hospital.
Free Nurse Chat and Health Info Line
Personalised support, answers, reassurance or for those socially isolated who may just want someone to talk to, a nurse is here 24/7.
INS LifeGuardian Connect® App
If families and carers cannot visit in person, the INS LifeGuardian Connect® app can be used. Available free to download, the INS LifeGuardian Connect® app provides clients' families, village managers and carers with the unique ability to interact with various INS LifeGuard medical alarm systems including accessing information, receiving alerts, viewing vital sign readings and even setting geofence areas.
INS LifeGuardian® App
The INS LifeGuardian® App turns a mobile phone into a mobile medical alarm, downloaded from the Google play store or app store, the help button sends an alarm to our emergency response centre 24/7. Paired with the INS LifeGuardian Connect® app clients’ families and carers can conveniently check the ones they care for whereabouts, set geofence alarms and view or set up vital sign alerts to detect or monitor medical problems.
The Mia BT4 compatible with the INS LifeGuardian® App is a small and sleek wearable. When paired via Bluetooth with the INS LifeGuardian® App, pressing the button on the Mia will trigger an alarm on the mobile phone within Bluetooth range and without the need to touch the phone. This extra level of protection sends an alarm and GPS location 24/7 to our emergency response centre immediately.
Perfect for those remote workers, lone workers or anyone wanting to have peace of mind that should you feel unsafe or unwell a nurse is only a button-press away.
