The Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdown that led to the importance of Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM). Since 2020, the healthcare sector has seen various technological advancements, especially in the RPM space. By reducing both hospital visits and bed time, real-time tracking and immediate treatment has gained acceptance among doctors and patients alike and has also helped reduce overall burden. Healthcare ecosystem.
RPM can record, produce and analyze data so that doctors and therapists can make informed decisions for patients with chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular diseases. Remote patient monitoring devices can effectively track the activity of ECG, oxygen saturation, body temperature, respiratory rate and other vitals. This technology provides real-time analysis using artificial intelligence, which means it allows early detection during the monitoring period in the interim event. Cardiac Abnormalities of rhythm. Due to the increasing incidence of cardiac conditions, RPM is a particularly powerful tool for managing off-site cardiac rhythms.
Cardiac patient monitoring patches, such as the 7L ECG patch, can reduce the risk of pathological complications, including microvascular stroke, cardiac arrest, and heart attack, and reduce hospitalizations. It provides a home hospital model that improves cardiac care with a live 24/7 platform.
Through the 7L patch, patients’ ECG and vitals are securely transmitted to their cardiologist, from anywhere in the world, at any time. Additionally, it enables patients to continue their daily activities with peace of mind. Technological advances increase operational efficiency and automate patient data collection. Remote patient monitoring allows clinicians to increase their clinical understanding of patients’ conditions without an in-person visit and offers proactive care delivery. Thus, RPM for cardiac care increases the likelihood of medical management and strengthens the doctor-patient relationship with personalized plans.
Remote patient monitoring offers several advantages:
- Provide timely and practical access to care
- Increase ease of access to regular care
- Enhances evidence-based clinical decision making
- Providers and patients benefit from reduced healthcare costs
- A great way to engage patients
- Improves productivity of healthcare staff and eliminates clinical deficits
With reusable quality, these wearable patches are a smart long-term investment as they reduce in-person visits. From cardiac screening to post-discharge monitoring. Use of RPM reduces short-term visits and hospitalizations, making healthcare more affordable. RPM also reduces long-term costs associated with complications, such as the cost of assessments, tests or procedures. It enables patients to become more educated and take charge of their health. Between improving patient outcomes and increasing healthcare revenue, this technology is expected to establish a strong foundation in the healthcare industry. In short, RPM for cardiac diseases is a consistent win for patients, caregivers, providers and payers across the healthcare sector.
