Although Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) is increasingly being employed to track chronic illnesses and provided enhanced patient support, it can also be used for improving one’s lifestyle.
People who are working towards their health goals can become more engaged in their growth if they actively see the progress. Since people tend to be reward-driven, RPM can be used to take continuous measurements and encourage people to make lifestyle changes accordingly.
After the covid pandemic, people’s perception, and acceptance of technology in healthcare have changed. Using RPM through an app or medical device, patients can be conscious of their health and more responsive to health programs. After the data is presented to patients and they have more knowledge about personal health, the patient and provider can collaborate to set a routine and reinforce healthy choices and lifestyles. With meaningful patient engagement, RPM can not only transform a person’s health but also wellness.
