In a major step toward transforming community healthcare, Jersey Island has introduced a new remote health monitoring service aimed at supporting vulnerable and elderly residents.
Family Nursing and Home Care (FNHC) has begun implementing ‘Luci’ a digital health application developed by GraphNet, enabling nurses to monitor patients’ vital signs from the comfort of their homes.
According to a BBC report, GraphNet Health was chosen by FNHC to deploy its remote monitoring solution across Jersey, helping track the wellbeing of at-risk individuals in both homes and community settings.
The initiative is being funded through an £800,000 CareTech grant, awarded to FNHC to support the digital rollout for older residents on the island.
FNHC chief executive Rosemarie Finley described the project as “a powerful way” to keep an eye on residents within their own homes.
“As a community nursing organization, we see daily how frailty, falls, chronic wounds and long-term conditions such as diabetes affect our patients and their families,” she said.
Finley added that GraphNet’s technology - backed by CareTech Challenge funding - would help clinicians detect early warning signs, intervene sooner, and enable more islanders to remain independent, safer, and healthier for longer.
According to FNHC, the program, supported by Digital Jersey, is designed to improve patient outcomes, ease the workload on nursing staff, and help prioritize those requiring urgent assistance.
Jersey’s Health Minister Tom Binet expressed optimism about expanding similar digital tools across the island’s healthcare system, noting hopes for broader adoption of platforms like Luci in the future.
