Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is a type of homecare telehealth that allows patients to collect and communicate patient-generated health data (PGHD) to healthcare experts using mobile medical devices and technology. Common physiological data that can be collected with RPM programs include weight, vital signs, heart rate, and blood pressure.
Care management software should be used to collect data that complies with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Providers, on average, receive $52 for 20 minutes of service per month, however, they may also receive an additional $56 per month when patients use their RPM devices daily.
As per Insider Intelligence’s estimated report, around 26.2% of the population, or 70.6 million US patients, will use RPM tools by 2025.
