Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) is a healthcare technology that enables the collection and transmission of health data from patients in their homes to healthcare providers in real-time or at regular intervals. This technology is particularly beneficial for managing chronic conditions, post-operative care, and the ongoing monitoring of patients who require regular health assessments but prefer or need to stay at home.

How RPM Works

RPM involves the use of various medical devices that monitor specific health parameters, such as:

  • Blood pressure monitors
  • Glucose meters
  • Pulse oximeters (measuring oxygen levels)
  • Electrocardiograms (ECGs)
  • Weight scales
  • Wearable devices (e.g., smartwatches)

These devices are equipped with digital capabilities to record and transmit data to a secure platform, where healthcare providers can access it. The data is often monitored continuously or at set intervals, depending on the patient’s condition and the type of device being used.
