Remote Patient Monitoring Software & Solutions

Remote patient monitoring allows healthcare providers to track patients' vital signs and health data remotely. It improves patient outcomes, reduces hospital readmissions, and enhances patient engagement. It enables timely interventions and personalized care, especially for those with chronic or remote conditions.

Per the CMS guidelines, patients with at least one chronic condition from the last six months are eligible for RPM services. Provider enrolls those patients into the RPM services and gathers all patient demographics and clinical information.
Patients connect their devices with mobile applications and push their vitals; those vitals are readily available to the provider for review. The provider can review those vitals from his desktop app, make required comments, and take the necessary actions.
At the end of the month, Provider can bill for the services they provided to the patient. They can claim the time spent on patient monitoring and any devices supplied. Claims can be submitted to Medicare or any private insurance company for reimbursement.

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is a subset of telehealth in which patients use mobile medical devices and technology. The RPM devices collect and transmit patient-generated health data (PGHD) to healthcare providers.
Providers and patients can connect anytime, anywhere through real-time messaging, audio, and video calls. Additional features such as alerts, reminders, and notifications are available.

The Remote patient monitoring benefits are as follows -

1. Professional Healthcare providers can easily access patient data.
2. Better quality treatment for the patient.
3. Reduced costs.
4. Improved efficiency for healthcare providers
5. Increased practices revenue

Devices that can collect patient health data electronically using various sensors. They can connect with mobile or cellular devices via Bluetooth, WiFi, or other media.
There are many remote patient monitoring devices on the market. The most common RPM devices include blood pressure cuffs, glucometers, pulse oximeters, ECGs, wearables devices, thermometers, and many others.

Remote patient monitoring software allows providers to monitor patient health data remotely from their web applications. Remote patient monitoring has three leading portals: Admin, Provider, and Patient Portal. From the Admin portal, Admin can create providers groups and Providers to manage administrative stuff like user management and financials.
The provider portal allows providers to enroll patients into RPM services, create care programs, and assign them to patients. It provides device management, automatic time tracking, daily patient vital tracking, and taking necessary actions when necessary. Also, from the provider portal, they can create a claim for monthly billing and get reimbursed.
Patients can connect any medical device to their patient app. This allows them to push their vitals to their provider for review. Furthermore, they can communicate with their provider anytime through messages, audio calls, and video calls in an emergency.

Several factors determine the time to develop a telehealth RPM app. For instance, the app's complexity, the number of features, the tech stack used, and implementation services. We here at Thinkitive can develop an MVP in about six months.

A custom RPM software with a long list of features can cost between $90000 and $120000. A basic RPM app with limited features and a simple UI/UX design ranges from $65000 to $80000.

The four main components of remote patient monitoring solutions are as follows-

1. IoMT medical devices and sensors
2. Patient mobile app
3. Physician app with vital real-time dashboard
4. HIPAA complaints and security
5. Adherence to CMS guidelines
6. The admin app

The Covid 19 crisis has made access to physical healthcare services difficult. This can present a risk of infection and other significant issues. This has increased the demand for home healthcare services. Telehealth options have been introduced.
It is essential to manage chronic illnesses. Patient vitals must be monitored regularly. Medical devices and sensors are needed to collect the vitals and transfer them to the provider for review.
It is crucial to monitor patient vitals regularly to manage chronic illness. This requires medical devices and sensors to collect and transfer vitals to the provider for review. That's why Remote Patient monitoring comes into the picture.
Remote patient monitoring is essential because it alerts us to the early deterioration of a patient's health. Moreover, it allows practitioners to modify their treatment immediately.
