Introducing the HEALTH BUDDY APPLIANCE
The Health Buddy® appliance is a friendly, convenient, easy-to-use appliance that lets you provide your care manager with important information about your condition on a daily basis — right from the comfort of your own home.
As part of the McKesson Telehealth AdvisorTM solution, the Health Buddy® appliance provides you with important healthcare information and useful tips to help you take better care of your own health.
The Health Buddy appliance plugs into your telephone line and an electrical outlet. You will be asked a series of simple questions about your health status. You answer by pushing one of four buttons. The entire process takes only a few minutes.
After you complete your session, your Health Buddy appliance will silently and automatically dial a toll-free number to send your information to your healthcare team. It also then receives new questions and helpful information for your next session. Your doctor and authorized health professionals will be able to access the information to evaluate your progress and help provide you with even better care.
