Chronic conditions impact a staggering number of Americans every year. Over 60 percent of adults in the U.S. have a chronic condition, with 40 percent diagnosed with two or more. Managing these conditions goes beyond in-person consultation—it’s about continuous monitoring and reducing hospital visits. However, traditional healthcare models often fall short of meeting the needs of managing these conditions.
Today, patients can manage their chronic conditions as easily as by checking an email. This is the age of digital health, where remote patient monitoring (RPM) is bringing healthcare to their fingertips. As the global RPM market is projected to soar to $71.9 billion by 2028, the impact of these technologies is expanding across medical specialties, from cardiology to neurology.
What’s driving this surge? This blog will explore the transforming phase of remote patient monitoring technology. We will start with history and then examine the latest trends and explore the future of remote patient monitoring. But first, let’s begin by understanding what remote patient monitoring is.
