Self-manage your chronic condition

The home health monitoring service is available in all Yukon communities. It's for Yukoners with chronic health conditions.

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.
