What Is Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)?
Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) is a modern healthcare solution that allows doctors to track patients’ health from home using digital devices. Instead of waiting for in-person checkups, providers can monitor key health data daily to detect concerns early and adjust treatment as needed.
How Does RPM Work?
✔ Use Your Device(s) Daily – Patients use medical devices like a blood pressure cuff, glucometer, weight scale, or pulse oximeter to measure key health metrics.
