Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) is witnessing an increased uptake among healthcare providers due to its various benefits, some of which are stated below:
– Improved Patient Outcomes: RPM can catch dangerous out-of-range values, notice trends that can imply a change in the care regimen, and offer coaching on daily health choices.
– Better Quality of Care: By monitoring various health metrics, healthcare professionals get a more comprehensive picture of a patient’s health, which enhances their feedback and advice.
– Increased Patient Accountability: Knowing that their data is being shared with providers makes patients aware that they are being watched and cared for. This knowledge can lead to better patient accountability as providers will be alerted if a patient strays from their health management plan.
– Alleviate Clinical Burnout: A global shortage of healthcare practitioners places a heavy burden on the existing workforce. RPM can reduce the care burden while also expanding care access for people.
