Top 4 Technology Considerations Using RPM for Early Intervention

RPM is a fundamentally different way to practice healthcare, and early intervention via RPM is returning better outcomes for patients. RPM offers real-time recordings of vital signs.

RPM gives physicians access to larger data sets for an overall better picture than a single report of a vital sign, such as high blood pressure. For clinicians, RPM provides rich data sets over time and allows the provider to spot and react to trends in the data.

The more advanced RPM solutions have three-factor authentication—by device, location and user. With device authentication, two-factor authentication is used without a human in the loop. The device sends a service request with an identifier unique to each device and the server responds to the device with an encrypted challenge payload. The system then extracts the payload and sends a return message.
