Remote Patient Monitoring

Remote Patient Monitoring

Remote patient monitoring uses connected home devices — a blood pressure cuff, a scale, a glucose meter — to send readings to the care team between visits. Rather than seeing one measurement every few months, the practice sees a trend.

Who It Suits

• Hypertension — daily readings that show whether a medication change is working.
• Diabetes — glucose patterns reviewed between appointments.
• Patients who travel to the office with difficulty — especially older adults under geriatric care.

People Behind the Data

Readings are reviewed by the care team, and readings outside the expected range prompt a call. Monitoring supplements regular visits and telehealth check-ins — it does not replace being seen, and it is never a substitute for emergency care.
