As healthcare spending around the world increases, innovative methods of delivering cost-effective healthcare must be developed. Remote patient monitoring (RPM), referring to the measurement and analysis of a patient's health status without needing to be physically present at a medical facility or in the presence of a medical professional, has emerged as a promising technology to drive down healthcare costs while maintaining a high standard of care for patients.
While traditional RPM technologies has involved connected blood pressure cuffs, heart rate monitors, scales, etc., innovations in RPM bring increasing patient convenience. At the forefront is the drive to bring continuous monitoring to wearable devices. Recent activities from technology giants such as Apple, Google and Amazon seeking to disrupt the healthcare space, combined with increasing interest in and reimbursement of RPM, will bring about drastic changes to how patients will be cared for in the future.
At its core, RPM technologies and services enable healthcare providers to care for their patients outside of their regularly scheduled visits and follows the global trend in the healthcare industry of decentralization to alleviate overburdened hospitals and clinics. RPM provides healthcare providers and carers with time-sensitive medical information which can be used to optimize the allocation of healthcare resources while simultaneously improving patient health outcomes.
For patients, the benefits of RPM include increased quality of life, reduced hospitalizations and emergency room visits, and reduced hospital stay times. By tracking a patient's health status, early warning signs may be detected and even allow for preventative healthcare to be administered. This provides both patients and their carers with a peace of mind.
A key market for RPM technologies and services is in the care of chronic diseases, particularly in the elderly population. The world's elderly population are responsible for a large portion of healthcare spending due to the high prevalence of chronic diseases in this group, and the high cost of managing chronic diseases. Management of chronic diseases involve high levels of care (regular check-ups and good adherence to medication regimen) over the long term. With the increase in the world's elderly population predicted, even small cost reductions in this space will have drastic impact for healthcare systems around the world.
