care in the UK continues to grow due to people
living longer and subsequently suffer from
chronic illnesses throughout their lives. This
growing need has placed a strain on the NHS, and
alternative methods that help to ease the
healthcare burden safely are more sought after
than ever. The restrictions that 2020 has placed
on access to critical services has only
heightened the necessity for additional resources
and methods of supporting patients. One such
strategy that has received increased attention
lately is remote patient monitoring.

• What is Remote Patient Monitoring?
• Remote patient monitoring, sometimes abbreviated
  to RPM, is a method of capturing data about a
  patients health using advanced technology
  outside of traditional healthcare settings. It
  records vital health data that indicates a
  patients condition such as
• heart rate
• blood pressure
• oxygen saturation
• body temperature and more
• While the term advanced technology might sound
  like something that belongs in a sci-fi movie,
  these devices are often very consumer-friendly
  products. Many systems often resemble smartphones
  or tablet devices, making them easy and effective
  for patients to use at home. It allows the
  patient to take control of managing their health
  in a way that is comfortable and relatable.
• Falling within the category of telehealth, remote
  patient monitoring is focused on the specific
  technology that is used to keep patients and
  their healthcare professionals connected for
  improved health management. RPM has proven to
  reduce readmissions and improve patient outcomes.

Is remote patient monitoring as effective as
in-person management?
? Post-operative care After the first day of
post-operative care, vital signs are often
recorded periodically at four- hour intervals.
RPM systems enable the continuous monitoring of a
patients vitals and can quickly create alerts if
there are any abnormalities. Remote patient
monitoring can also help with medication
adherence and post-operative care compliance.
Facilitating the ability for patients to share
data and healthcare professionals to monitor from
a distance, remote patient monitoring technology
supports early detection of any issues which
might arise post-operation and allow treatment
sooner.

? During a healthcare crisis The limitations and
restrictions that have been imposed out of
necessity in 2020 have meant that remote patient
monitoring has been instrumental in supporting
healthcare systems. It has supported the
monitoring of patients released from hospital
after admission. This reduces the risk of
infection for people who are at-risk and limits
the interaction between patients in a communal
space. ? For the management of chronic
illnesses Remote patient monitoring has been
particularly useful in supporting patients who
are managing chronic health conditions and
illnesses. It is a highly time-efficient way of
accessing essential patient data from a distance,
and reduces the need for so many appointments,
freeing time for patients and doctors. RPM has
also had a positive effect on increasing a
patients engagement with managing their own
health and increasing their responsibility in a
safe way. In the same way, remote patient
monitoring can significantly reduce the risk of
people who are at higher risk of infection by
reducing their contact. Infection transmission
can be higher in settings such as hospitals and
doctors offices for those who are at increased
risk. Hence, RPM facilitates a safer way of
obtaining key vital signs and patient health
information. For more information -

• How can remote patient monitoring assist lung
  function?
• Lung function is a key area of a patients vital
  signs, especially for those suffering from
• lung-related illnesses and conditions such as
  COPD and asthma. One keyway to measure these
  vital signs is through the use of remote patient
  monitoring by obtaining health data via the use
  of a peak flow meter.
• Introducing the use of a peak flow meter to
  assist with RPM can empower patients to manage
  and monitor their own health. Using the results
  of peak flow and spirometry data, healthcare
  practitioners can identify early signs of lung
  inflammation. Capturing data, including FEV1 and
  PEF measurements, doctors can evaluate the health
  of a patients condition and whether additional
  action is necessary.
• The advantage is regular and consistent
  monitoring and data input that can identify
  problems earlier than if relying only on
  in-person patient monitoring. Delivering the data
  in real-time it can enable doctors and nurses to
  make critical decisions around patient care and
  health management.
