3. What did you think an iPad would do for you?
4. Did you have any initial anxieties about using it, what were they if you did?
5. What do you use the iPad for whilst at home?
6. Has your iPad improved your life?
7. Now that we’re no longer in such a crisis, what is your motivation to use your iPad?
8. What advice would you give to older friends about using technology?

The Covid Oximetry at Home work (sometimes called a "virtual ward") describes an enhanced package of remote monitoring (of symptoms and oxygen saturations) for patients with confirmed/suspected Covid-19 who are at risk of future deterioration/admission, provided within a patient’s own home (or usual residence) overseen by a multidisciplinary team (MDT) from either the community or hospital.
