Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) in pediatric care facilitates better patient interaction, lowers costs through early intervention, and enhances patient compliance. All children must have access to quality healthcare regardless of their financial means or geographic location. Without adequate care, children’s health can face serious immediate and long-term consequences affecting their development and welfare. RPM helps in prompt recognition and management of illnesses. With pediatric RPM, a patient’s parent or caregiver does not need to take time off from work or arrange transportation. The children also benefit because they aren’t required to miss school frequently for physical appointments. RPM also increases health equity for families by minimizing the number of trips taken for follow-up visits.
Pediatric RPM ensures that a child receives care in the comfort of their rather than in an office or clinic. The distant care is also well suited to children with behavioral and mental disorders that need special consideration.
