Home Based Primary Care Technology

Although today’s home-care clinicians have a lot in common with house call physicians of the past, they are armed with much more than just a little black bag.

Below are just a few of the many portable technology options available to HBPC providers:

There are also numerous communication tools, software and application programs that can assist clinicians in the field. These resources provide a host of services – from helping with diagnosis and care to enhancing personal safety.
