Remote Patient Monitoring
What is Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)?
Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) involves the use of digital technologies to monitor and capture medical and health data from patients in one location and electronically transmit this information securely to healthcare providers in a different location for assessment and recommendations.
