With flu season approaching, monitoring your health to prevent illness is crucial. Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) is the latest advancement in the healthcare technology that is playing a significant role in improving the clinical outcomes for chronic patients.
Since the fall is here, health concerns related to cold weather, such as the flu, influenza, and other respiratory ailments, are on the rise. Catching seasonal flu or respiratory infections can worsen chronic conditions such as congestive heart failure, hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and diabetes. RPM, through continuous monitoring, enables preventative measures to avoid falling ill.
How RPM For Flu Works?
Remote patient monitoring streamlines patient care and improves health outcomes outside traditional healthcare settings. A patient checks his/her vitals, such as heart rate, blood pressure, weight, and oxygen saturation via remote monitoring devices.
These readings are automatically transmitted to the RPM software platform, where a healthcare provider observes any abnormalities/ fluctuations in the vitals, analyzes patient’s symptoms, and tailors a personalized treatment plan after scheduling a virtual consultation with the patient.
