Healthcare IT News: Remote Patient Monitoring

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) involves a wide range of technologies and tactics to deliver health care outside of traditional healthcare facilities. It allows healthcare providers to collect and track a variety of patient health data remotely, such as blood pressure, heart rate, weight, vital signs, etc. After receiving the health data, healthcare providers can monitor their patients anytime despite being in a remote location. Remote monitoring technology in healthcare has many benefits like reducing the number of hospitalizations, avoiding lengthy stays in hospitals, reducing healthcare costs, keeping people healthy, allowing older and disabled individuals to avail healthcare facilities at home and avoiding nursing facilities, etc.
