Could You Benefit from Remote Patient Monitoring?

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) is a modern healthcare tool that allows you to manage your health from home. It involves using devices to track key health metrics like weight, blood pressure, blood sugar, blood oxygen levels, and heart rate. This data is sent directly to your healthcare provider, who can monitor your vitals remotely and adjust your treatment plan as necessary.

Common Conditions RPM Helps Manage:

- Chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease

- Post-surgery recovery

- Respiratory issues like asthma or COPD

Why RPM Can Improve Your Health:

RPM allows you to stay connected with your healthcare provider between visits, providing real-time insights that help in making timely adjustments to your care. Research has shown that RPM can reduce hospital readmissions and improve patient outcomes. For example, a study in the Journal of Medical Internet Research found that RPM decreased hospital readmissions by up to 38%.
