Passive Monitoring is Now Live!

Virtual Care Without Barriers

Remote patient monitoring has transformed healthcare, but not all patients can engage with it effectively. Those with frailty, cognitive impairments, or limited digital literacy often struggle with traditional monitoring methods, creating gaps in care. Meanwhile, clinicians need a reliable way to track vital signs continuously—without adding complexity for patients or staff.

That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that Doccla’s Passive Monitoring Solution is now officially live across multiple clients!

Our game-changing approach enables hands-free, high-frequency data collection through an advanced multi-parameter bracelet—capturing heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), oxygen saturation (SpO₂), core temperature, and movement. And later this year, we’ll be adding non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) monitoring to make it even more powerful.

This is the future of virtual care—no patient burden, no missed readings, just real-time insights clinicians can trust.

What is Passive Monitoring?

Unlike traditional remote monitoring, which requires patients to actively check their devices, passive monitoring automatically captures and transmits data in the background—without any manual input. No missed readings, no extra steps—just seamless, monitoring that works for every patient.

With Doccla’s solution, clinicians can customise data collection frequency—whether every 30 seconds or every few hours—ensuring the right balance between data volume and diagnostic relevance. And if a patient temporarily loses connection, data is cached and automatically transmitted once reconnected.

Seamlessly Supporting NEWS2 Scoring

One of the biggest challenges in virtual care is ensuring early warning scores are accurately captured without requiring manual intervention. Doccla’s Passive Monitoring Solution automatically supports the calculation of NEWS2 (National Early Warning Score 2) by continuously tracking the vital parameters required for scoring—heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, temperature, and soon, non-invasive blood pressure.

💡 How it works:

  • Continuous Data Collection – The wearable monitors vitals in near real-time, ensuring no gaps in data.
  • Automated NEWS2 Calculation – The Doccla platform seamlessly integrates the readings, instantly generating NEWS2 scores for clinical teams.
  • Early Deterioration Detection – Clinicians receive real-time alerts if a patient’s NEWS2 score rises, enabling early intervention and reducing the risk of escalation.

This hands-free approach means clinicians can rely on automated, objective data rather than waiting for intermittent readings or relying on patient-reported symptoms. It’s a safer, smarter, and more efficient way to manage patients remotely.

Key Benefits of Passive Monitoring

Expanding Virtual Care to More Patients
Passive monitoring removes digital literacy barriers, making remote care accessible to frail, elderly, and less tech-savvy patients.

Reliable, Real-Time Insights for Clinicians
Consistent, high-frequency data collection ensures fewer missed readings and better clinical confidence.

Less Burden, More Efficiency
With zero patient intervention required, clinicians get the data they need while reducing workload and improving workflows.

How It Works

🔹 “Hands-Free” Monitoring: The patient simply wears the lightweight, comfortable bracelet—minimal setup, no manual readings.

🔹 Multi-Parameter Tracking: The bracelet continuously measures HR, RR, SpO₂, core temperature, and movement, with NIBP coming soon.

🔹 Smart Integration: Seamlessly connects to Doccla’s patient app & clinician dashboard.

🔹 Customisable Frequency: Data can be collected as often as needed for clinical relevance.

🔹 Reliable Syncing: Readings auto-update in the Doccla dashboard and can integrate with EHRs.

Transforming Virtual Care—Today and Tomorrow

With Doccla’s Passive Monitoring now live, we’re setting a new standard for virtual care—one that removes patient barriers, enhances clinical trust, and streamlines workflows for healthcare teams.

And this is just the beginning. With NIBP monitoring coming later this year, we’re continuing to expand the capabilities of passive monitoring to offer even greater insights for clinicians and better outcomes for patients.
