Every morning, 62-year-old Eddie Beardsmore is greeted by beeps coming from a small black box on his hall table, followed by the message: “Time to take your readings!” Eddie, a former sales manager from Looe, Cornwall, suffers from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which means his lung function is severely impaired. He knows the routine. He puts his finger into an oxymeter, a small clip that fits over the fingertip and is attached to the box. Then he watches as his pulse rate (about 103 beats per minute today) and the level of oxygen saturated in his blood, known as “sats” (86 per cent), are recorded and flash up on a small LCD screen.
Next it’s time to check his weight (57.3kg), and slip on a blood pressure cuff (116/63). Lastly, the box lights up with a succession of questions: “Have you used your oxygen today?” If Eddie answers no, it replies: “Good, keep on taking your medication.” If he answers yes: “Was it more than yesterday?” And more questions are triggered to establish how much he has needed and for how long. Then, job done, Eddie hits the OK button. Moments later his community nurse is able to access his results from her office several miles away. The whole process takes about three minutes
