Patient data can be collected and monitored for several health-related metrics, including blood pressure, blood sugar levels, electrocardiograms, heart rate, vital signs and weight. RPM has been an asset during the pandemic because it makes contactless monitoring possible between physicians and patients, which can help when deciding on a course of treatment.
