Chronic diseases are among the major causes of death in the United States with four in ten adults suffering from two or more chronic conditions. Around $4.5 trillion is being spent on chronic disease management annually, and these numbers are rising every year. To bridge gaps in care and reduce healthcare costs, Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) is playing a significant role.
RPM not only prevents hospital readmissions but also promotes better allocation of resources, using a connected health device that records and reports patients’ daily biometric measurements to their clinicians for diagnostic review and timely intervention.
