In 2019, CMS introduced a new service that would benefit all practices and is being adopted by a huge percentage of practice in the United States in 2020. It is remarkably great for patients as well as providers.
Remote Patient Monitoring helps patients who are suffering from chronic conditions like, hypertension, diabetes, Congestive heart failure (CHF), Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), etc which need continuous monitoring of the patient’s vital signs.
Traditionally, the patient’s vitals were only examined when they visited the hospital/clinic, this generally gave inaccurate results due to reasons not limited to the patient’s anxiety in the hospital and even the long duration between the vitals result would not give a clear picture of patient’s health graph. Even the other ways was a more genuine than this, when patients used off the shelf devices for measuring their blood pressure, blood glucose, oxygen saturation, and body weight and then would maintain a log in a notepad which they would later bring to their doctors, but this would not be enough as the patient might miss taking the reading and maybe till the time they bring it to their doctor things would be worse.
Our partner corporation, Healthmote has developed a Remote Patient Monitoring system which would overcome all such barriers faced by both patients and providers. Also making it easy to implement in the provider’s offices as well as easy for patients to use.
