The technology will be embedded into Aire Innovate’s platform, AireSuite.

"We’re delighted to be working with Aire Innovate who are conquering the challenges of scaling up remote patient monitoring, connecting users from home to their clinician via their easy-to-use video consultation platform," said Laurence Pearce, CEO and founder of Lifelight.

"With Lifelight embedded into the Aire Innovate, many face-to-faceappointments can be reduced and, in some cases, replaced by more regular remote monitoring, providing improved levels of patient care.”

Mike Odling-Smee, founder of Aire Innovate, added: "I feel Lifelight is a game-changer in the effectiveness of remote consultations and a natural fit to our platform.

"It revolutionises remote patient monitoring, providing the clinician with the criticalinformation they need to make the right healthcare decision."

After the pandemic the medical industry has been forced to look for smarter solutions to eliminate or restrict physical interactions for healthcare services.

Remote patient monitoring, a powerful aspect of the telehealth revolution, has become the 'new normal' way of managing healthcare.
