Remote patient monitoring (RPM)
Connected devices send your blood pressure, blood sugar or weight readings to your care team, so problems are spotted early – without extra trips.
How remote patient monitoring works
- You get a connected device, such as a blood pressure cuff, glucose meter or scale
- You take readings at home as your provider asks
- The readings go securely to your care team
- Your care team checks them and contacts you when something needs attention
Who it helps
- People with high blood pressure, diabetes or heart failure
- People recovering after a hospital stay
- Anyone whose provider wants to see readings between visits
It is not an emergency service
Readings are checked regularly, not every minute. If you feel very unwell, don't wait for a call. A virtual visit is not an emergency service. For chest pain, trouble breathing, severe bleeding, signs of a stroke or a serious injury, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. If you are thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) at any time.
