What Is COVID Protect?

COVID Protect empowers your region and its Practices to rapidly identify opportunities, implement solutions and validate improvements for your patients. The system is powered by the Advice & Guidance (Eclipse Live) NHS Digital Population Health Management interface in conjunction with VISTA Analytics. It is effortless to implement, centrally NHS assured and centrally funded.

A full support package is provided to ensure appropriate training and maximum impact. In addition the system has been designed to reduce workload through increased efficiencies, increase revenue and improve your validation of safe practice. The service integrates with your Principal Clinical System and delivers the opportunity to transition to a proactive approach to healthcare with all the associated benefits this offers.

Remote Devices Used in This Project

**GRx Fingertip Pulse Oximeter**

The GRx Fingertip Pulse Oximeter is for use in measuring oxygen saturation of arterial haemoglobin ‘SpO2’ (by measuring the absorption of red and infrared light passing through perfused tissue) and pulse rate. Changes in absorption caused by the pulsation of blood in the vascular bed are used to determine oxygen. Users must be over 7 years old, weigh more than 40kg and be in a no-motion state. Bluetooth compatible with the GlucoRx Voyager App for iOS and Android.

**KardiaMobile ECG**

KardiaMobile with KardiaCare gives the power to detect six of the most common arrhythmias with every ECG you take. You’ll get an accurate analysis of your ECG recording and enjoy exclusive features like clinician reviews and heart health reports.

**GRx Blood Pressure Monitor**

The GRx Blood Pressure Monitor is designed to measure the systolic, diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate using a non-invasive technique (oscillometric method), by an inflatable blood pressure cuff wrapped on the upper arm.

The GRx Blood Pressure Monitor is intended for individuals aged over 18 years, for use in a home or clinical setting. Bluetooth compatible with the GlucoRx Voyager App for iOS and Android.

**GRx Forehead Digital Thermometer Pro**

This multi-use digital thermometer relies on advanced infrared technology for the measurement and monitoring of temperature instantly and accurately on the forehead for the detection of illness, flu, Corona virus etc. For use by people of all ages at home.” Bluetooth compatible with the GlucoRx Voyager App for iOS and Android.
