RPM’s role in COVID-19

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) solutions have been emerging within the market for several years, and several studies evaluated and found RPM to improve treatment and access to ongoing care, patient satisfaction, and healthcare costs. Despite the success and proven effectiveness, providers in the past have been slow to adapt to RPM. The changing landscape and challenges of the pandemic have drastically increased the urgency to adopt RPM solutions. Companies specializing in remote medical wearable solutions have seen a significant increase in demand for remote monitoring solutions from providers and pharmaceutical companies. Many experts expect the RPM market to double in approximately five years.
