The Unit for Assistive Devices (BHM) at Bergen Health has the main task of offering loans of medical-technical equipment and consumables to patients who need treatment at home. The unit specializes in equipment that is relevant after a stay in hospital or outpatient clinic, and has a particular focus on the treatment of diabetes and sleep apnea.
BHM also handles equipment and consumables errors, which ensures that patients receive the necessary support during their treatment. In addition to lending equipment, the unit offers resources and information to both patients and relatives, including news and events related to health. This helps to strengthen patients' and relatives' knowledge and understanding of treatment options.
