PCAs observe, encourage, and report — they do not interpret readings.
Blood Pressure Monitor
Support the patient with proper cuff placement and arm positioning to help ensure readings are taken correctly and sent through the Patient App.
Blood Glucose Meter
Encourage hand hygiene, safe test strip handling, and proper disposal while the patient records their blood sugar reading in the Patient App.
Pulse Oximeter
Help ensure the patient’s finger is clean, warm, and still so oxygen readings can be captured accurately and uploaded through the Patient App.
Digital Thermometer
Assist with proper thermometer placement, cleaning after use, and confirming temperature readings are recorded in the Patient App.
Digital Weight Scale
Ensure the scale is placed on a flat surface and the patient is steady so weight measurements can be taken consistently and synced to the Patient App.
