Preventive Care Station

Who is this service for?

This service is for West Island residents living  with chronic conditions who do not have a family doctor.

Services

The Preventive Care Station is a room equipped with high-tech devices. With the help of a nurse, users can take various measurements themselves, including:

  • Blood pressure
  • Pulse
  • Blood oxygen levels

The Preventive Care Station, which is safe and accessible, helps users better understand their health and take charge of their preventive care.   

This is a Canadian first, made possible by an initiative of the Canadian Space Agency and a healthcare solution developed by Baüne, a company with roots in both Québec and Alberta. 

It should be noted that this is currently a pilot project and that the system requires that an application, only available for Android phones, be downloaded. An iOS version will eventually be released for iPhones.
