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, detecting problems early 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 consisitent 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.*
