Remote patient monitoring (RPM) uses digital technologies to collect health data from patients in one location and electronically transmit it to healthcare providers in another location for assessment and recommendations. This approach transforms healthcare delivery by enabling continuous monitoring outside traditional clinical settings.

RPM systems typically include wearable devices, sensors, and mobile applications that track vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, blood glucose levels, oxygen saturation, and weight. Data transmits automatically to healthcare teams who monitor trends, identify concerning patterns, and intervene proactively before conditions deteriorate. Patients receive timely feedback and care adjustments without clinic visits.

The technology particularly benefits chronic disease management. Diabetic patients monitor glucose levels continuously, heart failure patients track weight and fluid retention, and COPD patients measure oxygen levels. Early detection of abnormal readings allows prompt intervention, preventing emergency room visits and hospitalizations. RPM also supports post-surgical recovery monitoring and medication adherence tracking.

Benefits extend beyond clinical outcomes. Patients gain convenience and peace of mind through continuous monitoring without travel burdens. Healthcare systems reduce costs by preventing expensive acute care episodes. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated RPM adoption, demonstrating its value for maintaining care continuity while minimizing infection risks.

Regulatory frameworks now support RPM through reimbursement policies recognizing its clinical value. Technological advances improve device accuracy, battery life, and user-friendliness. Integration with electronic health records streamlines workflow for providers. As populations age and chronic disease prevalence increases, remote patient monitoring becomes increasingly essential for sustainable, patient-centered healthcare delivery.
