The Future of Remote Patient Monitoring: A Comprehensive Analysis

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) is revolutionizing healthcare by allowing medical providers to track patient health data remotely. As defined by Thaker, “RPM is a healthcare practice where medical providers use digital devices, like blood pressure monitors, scales, or pulse oximeters, to continuously monitor a patient’s health outside of a clinical setting, enabling proactive interventions.” This technology enables continuous patient monitoring without requiring frequent in-person visits, significantly improving accessibility and efficiency. Additionally, RPM is now expanding beyond physical health tracking to include behavioral health monitoring, allowing for a more comprehensive approach to patient care.
