Remote Patient Monitoring
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is a subcategory of homecare telehealth that allows patients to use mobile medical devices and technology to gather patient-generated health data (PGHD) and send it to healthcare professionals. AI technology enhances the efficiency, security, and reliability of RPM systems, enabling real-time health monitoring and personalized patient care from a distance.
Traditional, manual RPM systems face challenges such as data security concerns, inaccuracies in patient data collection, limited patient engagement, and interoperability issues across different healthcare systems. These challenges can hinder effective patient monitoring and result in suboptimal care.
AI technology offers a solution to these challenges by providing the following solutions:
- Improving data-driven clinical decision making: With RPM, the provider sees how a patient’s symptoms change over time, allowing the provider to identify trends or alter the patient’s care plan accordingly.
- Improves access to care: Remote patient monitoring bridges the barrier of access by providing care to patients where they are, when they need it. It can be used to reach patients in rural areas, and connect patients to specialists who they otherwise would not have access to.
- Builds patient engagement: Remote patient monitoring is a fantastic patient engagement strategy as it provides the patient with tools to assist them in understanding their health.
- Optimizes clinical staff efficiency and combats clinical staff shortages: Remote patient monitoring benefits clinicians by helping them improve clinical workflows and prioritize care delivery, enabling them to triage each patient and case based on close to real-time patient status.
The adoption of AI in RPM leads to significant benefits:
- Improved quality of care: RPM gives patients and healthcare providers access to more relevant patient data, thus improving overall quality and value-based care.
- Higher levels of education and support: RPM gives patients information and feedback about their personal conditions daily, educating them and providing support.
- Patient assurance: Constant monitoring can give patients a peace of mind that any potential issues will be identified in a timely manner.
- Improves patient experience and satisfaction: RPM conveniently meets patients where they are, and where they want to be. It removes the burden of a hospital visit or stay, allowing patients to receive efficacious and safe care from the comfort of their own homes.
