Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM), also known as remote physiologic monitoring, involves using electronic equipment and digital technologies to gather and monitor health data from patients. This data is then sent to healthcare providers for diagnosis, assessment, and recommendations. RPM enhances patient engagement by allowing continuous and real-time health monitoring from the comfort of patients’ homes.
For instance, a patient regularly checks their blood pressure at home using remote patient monitoring devices such as a blood pressure monitor and sends the results digitally to their clinician. Providers use RPM to monitor, report, and analyze patients’ acute or chronic conditions outside of a hospital or clinic.
Using DrKumo Remote Patient Monitoring technology supports at home medical devices where patients can take health measurements and electronically submit the information to their clinicians. This enables clinicians to track patient progress and adjust treatment plans, reducing the need for hospital readmissions. Discover more about how RPM integrates with our Chronic Care Management program.
RPM allows doctors to collect data more frequently and reliably than during typical office visits. They can monitor metrics like weight, blood pressure, blood sugar, blood oxygen saturation, heart rate, and electrocardiograms from any location. This real-time data transmission can be life-saving and is a crucial part of modern healthcare cybersecurity.
