Remote Patient Monitoring

What is Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)?

Our remote patient monitoring program allows you and your healthcare provider to manage your health from the comfort of your own home via bluetooth or 4G enabled health tracking devices. RPM is a compliment to long term healthcare for patients with chronic diseases; by assisting to monitor vital health data, problems can be detected between regularly scheduled appointments. This can reduce additional doctors appointments and hospitalizations.

RPM inlcudes your provider monitoring your trackable health data. To facilitate this, you will be assigned a Patient Care Coordinator (PCC). They will reach out on a monthly basis and will work with you to maintain consistent communication regarding your vital readings. You will receive additional communication for readings that are out of the designated range to ensure you are doing well. RPM is a billable service covered by most insurances.*

Your Team

Dr. Munjal: His passion for hypertension led him to establishing this program here. His goal is to empower patients to be hands-on with their care, working in a partnership with our office to get our patients on track with their health. He meets with the PCC on a daily basis to discuss patient cases and communicate all changes that need to be made. His patients are his top priority.
Samantha: Sam is our dedicated PCC. She will be your point of contact and the person checking in with you regularly. Sam is the queen of research and problem solving; if you have a question, she will find an answer.
