Self-manage your chronic condition

The home health monitoring service is available in all Yukon communities. It's for Yukoners with chronic health conditions like diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and high blood pressure.

You’ll receive an easy-to-use tablet with health monitoring equipment you can use at home. Other kits you may get include:

• blood pressure machine;
• weight scale;
• blood oxygen sensor; and
• thermometer.

Home Health Monitoring will enable you to:

• improve your understanding of your health condition;
• understand its impact on your daily activities; and
• learn how to effectively manage your symptoms.

This service will:

• provide you with greater confidence and security to live on your own;
• give peace of mind to your caregivers; and
• keep your primary care providers updated with your health status.

This service is not:

• intended to replace or replicate primary care services; or
• an emergency response system.
