How Whzan Blue Box Empowers Home Care Workers and Improves Client Safety in Swindon
At Right at Home Swindon, we’re always exploring new ways to deliver safer, smarter, and more responsive care to the people we support. One of the latest innovations we’ve adopted is the Whzan Blue Box—a remote health monitoring system designed to help our non-clinical care staff spot early signs of health deterioration in clients receiving domiciliary care.
This not only boosts client safety but also gives our care teams the confidence to communicate more effectively with health professionals, helping prevent unnecessary hospital admissions.
What is the Whzan Blue Box?
The Whzan Blue Box is an award-winning digital health monitoring tool used in home care and residential settings across the UK. It enables carers to take regular observations and track vital signs—without needing medical training.
This technology is especially useful for monitoring people with long-term health conditions, mobility issues, or complex needs, where early intervention can make a significant difference.
For family members and primary carers, it provides reassurance that a loved one is being supported with modern tools that help detect issues before they become emergencies.

What’s in the Box?
Each Whzan Blue Box contains easy-to-use, non-invasive equipment:
- A digital tablet
- Blood pressure monitor
- Pulse oximeter (for oxygen levels and heart rate)
- Thermometer
- A secure app for entering and sharing information
The system is simple enough to be used during regular home care visits. Even if the person receiving care is unfamiliar with technology, our trained care staff are there to take readings and ensure everything is done accurately and comfortably.
How It Works – Real-Time Monitoring for Peace of Mind
Our trained home care workers can take key health readings—such as blood pressure, temperature, oxygen saturation, and pulse—and input them into the Whzan system.
These results are then securely shared with healthcare providers, such as GPs and district nurses, who can monitor the information remotely. If a reading suggests a possible health concern, support can be arranged quickly and efficiently.
This kind of remote health monitoring can help:
- Spot signs of illness before symptoms worsen
- Reduce avoidable hospital admissions
- Speed up response from NHS teams
- Provide families with peace of mind
Supporting Our Carers and Clients
Using the Whzan Blue Box doesn’t just improve health monitoring—it also empowers our care staff.
They’ve told us that having clear, measurable data helps them feel more confident when speaking with healthcare professionals. It gives them a shared language to use when discussing a client’s wellbeing and allows them to advocate more effectively for those in their care.
For clients and their families, it means knowing that any changes in health won’t go unnoticed—and that they are being supported by carers who are proactive, informed, and well-equipped.
A Local Success Story
Since introducing the Whzan Blue Box in Swindon, we’ve already seen positive outcomes:
- Faster response times from health professionals
- Improved communication between teams
- Reduced stress for families and carers
- Greater confidence among care workers
One family member shared:
“The evening carer quickly recognised that mum wasn’t feeling well and was able to utilise the Whzan Box that had been recently introduced by RAH. Mum’s vital signs were recorded and raised a concern. Further support was promptly sought following a call to 111. The swift response meant mum could receive the treatment she needed. Use of the Whzan Box provided reassurance to family members as mum lives alone.”
