Overview of Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) allows healthcare providers to track and manage patients' health conditions in real time from the comfort of their own homes. Through the use of secure technology, patients can share vital health data, such as blood pressure, glucose levels, and oxygen saturation, directly with their care team. RPM enhances care for chronic conditions, post-surgery recovery, and overall patient management, offering a convenient and proactive approach to health.

Benefits of RPM

• Improved Health Outcomes: Continuous monitoring helps detect potential issues early, reducing the risk of complications.
• Convenience and Comfort: Patients can receive quality care without the need for frequent in-person visits.
• Enhanced Communication: RPM provides a seamless connection between patients and providers, leading to better engagement in care.
• Cost-Effective: Reduces the need for hospital readmissions or emergency room visits by catching health concerns before they escalate.
