Traditional healthcare is one of the many industries that felt the worldwide impact of digital transformation. However, emerging technologies, such as remote patient monitoring, or rpm, improved outcomes and reduced costs across the board in healthcare.

Remote patient monitoring allows physicians and hospitals to monitor patients outside the conventional clinic setting, as this technology can provide 24/7 data between patients and physicians. Over 88 percent of hospitals and health systems invest in remote patient monitoring technologies to connect hospitals and patients better.

If you would like better to understand rpm, telemedicine, and care coordination, we recommend you watch the following video. Fawad Butt, SVP and Chief Data Officer at United Healthcare talks about his experience in the healthcare space, the demanding increase of telemedicine, and the rise in rpm.

We've also compiled 12 remote patient monitoring companies paving the way for value-based care.
