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.
You
can rest assured that the information collected
during your daily Health Buddy appliance sessions is
secure and confidential. No one will have access to
your data unless they have been authorized by you or
your healthcare provider.
