Functioning of Remote Patient Monitoring Solutions

 The Center for Connected Health Policy defines remote patient monitoring as the use of digital technologies to track and collect medical and other health data from patients (such as their heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar level, etc.) and electronically transmit this data to healthcare providers for evaluation and, as needed, to provide recommendations and instructions.

With remote patient monitoring solutions  can continue to receive medical care while still living at home, and doctors can keep track of their well-being away from the hospital, help them manage their conditions, guarantee prompt provider interventions, and head off emergencies. As a result, it reduces the number of hospitalizations and readmissions as well as the length of stay. Remote patient monitoring is a type of telehealth delivery system. While RPM is a method for enabling remote doctor-patient communication, telehealth refers to the entire industry and the technologies that make this kind of healthcare possible.

Depending on the desired outcome and monitored medical indicators, a variety of technologies can be used for remote patient monitoring. These remote monitoring  solutions all share the following architectural components:

• Sensors. They are located on wearable, portable and invasive medical devices like implantable cardiac defibrillators. Using them, doctors can remotely check a patient's blood pressure, weight, temperature, heart rate, etc.

• Local data storage. All the data collected using sensors on the patient's side is stored in local data storage where it communicates with the centralized repository on the provider's side.

• Centralized repository. It aggregates the data from various sources (sensors, analytics systems, EHR) and stores it.

• Data analysis software. Data received from a centralized repository is analyzed on the insights and sent to providers, caregivers, and patients by request.

Physicians can now provide more patient care and better observation than ever before thanks to HealthArc's remote patient monitoring solutions Professionals can find out what therapy patients are receiving, how they are recovering, and many other aspects of their healthy development thanks to tracking analytics and other remote patient monitoring solutions.
