LiveCare Remote Monitoring

LiveCare is a portable home monitoring device designed specifically for chronic pain patients on high-dose opioid therapy. The device monitors vital signs — including respiratory rate and oxygen saturation — and alerts our clinical team to abnormal readings that may indicate medication-related complications.

Why Remote Monitoring Matters

High-dose opioid therapy, while sometimes necessary for severe chronic pain, carries risks related to respiratory depression. LiveCare provides a safety net: continuous passive monitoring that allows our team to identify early warning signs and intervene before a serious event occurs.

How It Works

Patients wear a small sensor device at home that transmits readings to our monitoring system. If readings fall outside safe parameters, an alert is generated and our clinical team is notified. This allows Dr. Rubin to manage high-dose opioid patients more safely while preserving their ability to remain at home.

Who Uses LiveCare?

LiveCare is offered to patients on chronic high-dose opioid therapy who require an additional layer of safety monitoring. It is particularly appropriate for patients with sleep-disordered breathing, those on complex multi-medication regimens, or elderly patients at higher baseline risk.
