patientMpower for COVID-19

The patientMpower for COVID-19 app is for people in the Republic of Ireland who have been enrolled in the COVID-19 remote monitoring programme by a healthcare professional.

The patientMpower for COVID-19 app will allow you to monitor your COVID-19 symptoms and health information such as your oxygen levels and temperature whilst you are in self-isolation. This information will be shared confidentially with trained personnel at dedicated monitoring centres. They will be able to see your information immediately. Monitoring will enable healthcare professionals to assess if you are recovering well whilst in isolation or if you need additional support (e.g. extra treatments at home or if you need to go to hospital).

It is recommended that you consent to using location services after downloading this app. If you don’t want to consent to sharing your location you can continue to use the app. The location information will be de-identified and used for research into COVID-19.
