The latest innovation in the healthcare sector is remote monitoring. Now, many service providers have launched apps that help them to keep the track of their patient’s health remotely. Remote healthcare has also proved to be of great help in case of emergencies as patients are able to get advice from expert doctors to deal with the situation.
Here are some diseases in which remote monitoring is of great help.
Dementia
Dementia patients suffer from thinking abilities, memory loss, lack of problem solving, etc. in their daily life. Doctors use RPM technological devices like canes and walkers that help to monitor the patient’s gait, linear acceleration, mathematical algorithm, and angular velocity to predict the possibility of falls. These devices are also helpful in tracking the lost seniors as they have in-built tracking systems like wifi, GPS, or radiofrequency.
Diabetes
Diabetic patients require visiting their doctor every 3-6 months and they also need to test their sugar level monthly. However, they can also self-test their sugar level with test strips, portable glucose meters, and a finger stick method that stores the reading of sugar level. Thus, you can share this data with your doctor remotely using the health app.
Infertility
Remote patient monitoring is also helpful for those patients who face difficulty in conceiving. A study shows that in-vitro fertilization and RPM both give the same pregnancy rate. RPM also provides better treatment at a low cost as compared to IVF programs.
Heart disease
Cardiologists use RPM tools to monitor the heart beep. These devices provide data on the patient heart’s electrical activity while sleeping, working, and exercising. These charts are helpful to maintain heart health.
