The Future of Patient Care: A Look into Remote Patient Monitoring
Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) is the use of the latest advances in information technology to monitor patients remotely. In this case, the patient is situated in a remote location. The patient doesn't need to travel to see a provider. Currently, this technology is utilized to monitor a wide range of conditions and helps improve the quality of life and reduce the chance of hospitalization. Besides managing acute and chronic conditions, it helps cut down on patient travel costs and the risk of infections. Since the ability to monitor certain aspects of a patient's health is now possible and has become an increasingly popular telehealth option, this technology has seen considerable advances in recent times. It keeps a tab on various health data from patients and transmits the data to healthcare providers for further analysis. Healthcare providers then analyze the data and use several clinical decision-making techniques for further diagnosis and treatment. RPM and Health Trac
