What is Remote Patient Monitoring?

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) is a healthcare technology that allows medical professionals to track patients’ health data outside traditional clinical settings, using connected devices and digital tools. It enables continuous monitoring of vital signs, symptoms, and disease progression in real time.

Key applications include managing chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension, post-surgical recovery, and elderly care. RPM uses devices such as wearable sensors, smart blood pressure monitors, and glucose trackers, transmitting data to healthcare providers for timely interventions.

By improving early detection, reducing hospital visits, and enhancing patient engagement, RPM increases healthcare accessibility and efficiency. Advances in AI, IoT, and telemedicine are further expanding its role in proactive and personalized care.
