Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) solutions are found to be quite useful in diabetes management. It leads to better health outcomes for patients with diabetes and related conditions. RPM devices such as glucose monitors and activity trackers generate data throughout the day giving healthcare practitioners continuous touchpoints, which proves more effective than seeing patients once in a couple of months. With these key data points, any health issues faced by patients can be quickly communicated.
Diabetics have a full-time job of measuring blood glucose levels, tracking, and recording insulin doses, monitoring food intake, etc. Hence RPM offers patients many benefits like frequent communication with the RPM team, good quality coaching offered by some programs, and the ability to swiftly adjust medications. RPM also facilitates increased information exchange between providers and patients, which helps in developing better treatment plans. Equipping patients with better self-care tools and integrating RPM with in-person care will prove instrumental in diabetes care.
