EHR/EMR systems
EHR integration with RPM platforms ensures that electronic health records are constantly updated with the information captured from different RPM devices to create a complete, up-to-date view of patients’ conditions.
Hospital IoT devices
Integrating RPM with hospital smart devices enables the collection of patient information from bedside monitors, imaging devices, smart medication dispensers, and virtual ward systems to ensure an even more comprehensive view of the patient’s physiological state.
Telehealth apps
RPM that doesn’t provide built-in telehealth functionality can be integrated with telemedicine platforms to increase the quality of remote care services, allowing clinicians to perform health examinations during their teleconsultations as effectively as during in-person visits.
Patient portals
Having access to their health information captured by RPM devices, patients better understand their condition, symptom patterns, care plans, and responsibility for their health, leading to better patient outcomes.
Mobile health apps
The integration of RPM solutions with mHealth applications allows medical personnel and patients to access RPM readings, log symptoms, and exchange data with other specialists on the go, as well as receive notifications on their mobile devices about scheduled measurements.
Healthcare data analytic solutions
By integrating RPM software with healthcare data analytics solutions that leverage advanced data analysis techniques as well as AI and ML models, healthcare professionals can uncover in-depth insights from patients’ vital data to develop personalized treatment plans and predict probable outcomes.

FAQs
Remote patient monitoring is the use of dedicated software and devices to measure a patient’s vital signs, for example pulse rate, heart rate, blood pressure, blood glucose levels, body weight, and other relevant information, transmit this data to doctors, and help them make more informed decisions and take proper actions.
After implementing an RPM solution, a healthcare provider identifies patients eligible for remote monitoring and obtains their consent to use a connected health device that takes readings at regular intervals and transmits them to the provider’s platform automatically. The clinical staff monitors the metrics and acts upon them when their intervention is needed. Patients can also access the RPM platform to check their vitals, reach out to doctors, and access educational materials. Additionally, RPM software automatically registers time spent on online care delivery and generates CPT codes to simplify the billing and reimbursement processes.
Devices that enable remote patient monitoring include patient wearables and medical devices like blood pressure monitors, glucometers, pulse oximeters, smart scales, and spirometers, as well as thermometers with cellular or Bluetooth connectivity that allow patients to record and report their vitals to the care team.
Remote patient monitoring can be used for keeping track of different health conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, heart failure, mental health and behavioral disorders, COPD, and asthma. It supports both care for chronic diseases and the monitoring of patients after acute events, enabling healthcare personnel from various specialties to timely spot the aggravation of symptoms and empowering patients to keep track of their state of health.
The cost of an RPM solution development depends on the type and number of connected devices, functionality, and the additionally integrated apps. One might get a simple RPM app for $50,000, while an advanced RPM suite with multiple complex connected devices would cost more than $500,000. Contact our team to get a ballpark estimation for your specific RPM needs.
Like the cost of the solution, the development time depends on your requirements and can range from 2-3 months for a smaller system to 6-9 months for a more complex solution. You can contact our experts for a more detailed estimation.
Yes, both Medicare and Medicaid cover remote patient monitoring, but reimbursement policies vary from state to state. The rules change frequently, and states expand coverage for telehealth, so it’s better to consult a solution’s provider before implementing it.
