Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is a healthcare delivery innovation that shifts the majority of patient care from the hospital to the patient’s home by utilizing cutting-edge technology and patient engagement practices.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Remote patient monitoring system<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> is a subset of homecare telehealth in which people use mobile medical devices and technology to collect and transmit patient-generated health data (PGHD) to medical specialists. RPM programs can gather standard physiological information such as vital signs, weight, blood pressure, and heart rate. Patient data is collected and sent to a provider’s office via a specialized telehealth computer system or software application that may be downloaded and installed on a computer, smartphone, or tablet.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The RPM helps patients that require chronic, post-discharge, or healthcare. It can alert healthcare companies about potential health issues or keep track of patient information between visits by connecting high-risk patients with remote monitoring.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
