Remote Patient Monitoring
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is a broad term used to describe monitoring patients health outside of a clinical setting. Through this technique health officials can monitor chronic diseases of a patient at their residence. This type of monitoring ideally relieves the health care system of many unnecessary hospitalizations and time spent in hospital stays. Meanwhile it provides the patient with the care and attention on as needed basis. This gives comfort not only to the patient but for the family of the patient. Current RPM are limited in health care settings because of monetary obstacles, the scope of technological shift, as well as ineffectiveness shown for RPM in trial settings.
