How Remote Patient Monitoring Is Reducing Readmissions in 2020

How Remote Patient Monitoring is Transforming Healthcare www.ipatientcare.com

Since the last decade, Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)

has experienced a trail run, but decade’s worth of research made this emerging technology enter the implementation

phase in the year 2020 Currently 88 % of hospitals are investing or considering to invest in remote patient monitoring systems,

According to Consumer Technology Association (CTA), 68 percent of healthcare organizations strongly wish to use remote patient monitoring solutions to help providers

manage the health of high-risk patients

How Remote Patient Monitoring Helps 1 Ease the burden on providers and patients

2 Gives patients much greater involvement in the management of their health

3 Eliminates nursing and hospitalization costs

4 Increase access to care for patients

How remote patient monitoring system monitors patient health outside of a traditional clinical setting

It collects biometric data

Analyzes and

Transmits it to the

(such as heart rate, blood

interprets that data

caretaker at another

pressure, oxygen levels, and sleep quality) from a

patient’s location

Remote Patient Monitoring with Wearables & Mobile Devices Wearable Fitness Tracker: The wristbands equipped with sensors to keep track of the user’s physical activity and heart rate. Having fitness and health data transferred from a wearable fitness tracker directly to the patient’s health record helps physicians:

Better monitor patients remotely

Expand the reach of patient care to rural areas

Improve the amount of data physicians receive

Smart health watch: Smart-watch once only used to count steps and tell time, but now it has transformed into an advanced healthcare tool. It now also enables users to:

Read notifications

Send simple

Monitor heart rate

messages and make

count

phone calls

Health tracking

Sleep tracking

Activity tracking and many more

Wearable ECG Monitor: The ECG monitor is able to measure:  An electrocardiogram and transmit the readings to the healthcare provider

 Integrate the data into the patient’s records.  Tracks atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat), distance, and elevation which further helps in preventive care.

Wearable Blood Pressure Monitor: BP Monitor can measure blood pressure and daily activity – like  Steps taken  Distance traveled  Calories burned  It also has the ability to advise how personal habits affect blood pressure

Patch- Biosensors: Wearable biosensor is a self-adhesive patch, that  Collects data on movement, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature  Streams data to the patient’s smartphone

 Transmits it to the healthcare provider via a suitable platform

Future trends for Remote Patient Monitoring Technology Study shows that patients

 Blockchain-powered EHRs

are eager to adopt RPM,

physicians too are positive

 Telehealth

for the same

 Artificial Intelligence  Wearables Digital health solutions that

acts as a catalyst for Remote Patient Monitoring are:

 Web portals  Care Coordination Software and Analytics
