RPM Tech Talk

Kathy Wibberly, PhD, is the director of the Mid-Atlantic Telehealth Resource Center. In this Tech Talk, Kathy discusses remote patient monitoring technology, it’s uses and benefits, and resources that can help you deploy a successful remote monitoring program.

Technology Overview

Remote patient monitoring allows patients to collect medical information in their home and to transfer it to care providers for trend analysis and intervention. It is often used to monitor patients with chronic conditions or patients who have been recently discharged from an inpatient hospital stay. Using a variety of sensors (peripherals) connected to a communications hub the patient is able to collect their medical information which is sent to a monitoring system. Most monitoring systems will have automated alerting systems for high and low readings, as well as mechanisms for reporting and trending patient health trends from the collected data.

Common RPM conditions:

• Diabetes
• Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
• Hypertension
• Post-surgical or Post-hospitalization monitoring

Common peripherals include:

• Blood Pressure Monitor
• Blood Oxygen/SP02 monitor
• Glucometer
• Digital Scale
• Thermometer

Different platforms might support some or all of these peripherals depending on program needs.

Connection Types- RPM platforms use a variety of connectivity technologies to collect and transmit data.

• WiFi- RPM hubs connect through a patient home wireless network to transmit collected results.
• Cellular- Cellular networks provide connectivity without having to integrate into a patient’s home internet. Cellular-equipped hubs and peripherals can be more expensive to maintain and deploy.
• Bluetooth- Most RPM peripherals will connect to the hub device using Bluetooth connectivity.
• Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)- A common trend is for patients to connect peripherals to their personal smart phone using an RPM app.

“Tools for Remote Patient Monitoring” Webinar

Remote monitoring technology enables healthcare providers to keep patients at home, out of the hospital, and engaged in their own care. The Telehealth Technology Assessment Center (TTAC) will provide an overview of remote monitoring technologies along with key questions organizations should consider when selecting these technologies. TTAC will also provide insights from their recent remote patient monitoring hardware assessment.​
