Pulse oximetry is a widely used, non-invasive method for monitoring blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) levels. It measures the percentage of oxygen-bound hemoglobin in the arterial blood. These measurements give a physician insights into a patient’s respiratory health. However, factors such
At home peak flow meters provide a simple way for patients to monitor their respiratory status. This article reviews the advantages of using a cellular at home peak flow meter for chronic lung disease. We will explore why easy-to-use peak
Research shows that remote patient monitoring (RPM) can improve outcomes for chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the areas of treatment adherence, quality of life, reduced hospitalizations, and lower healthcare costs. RPM enables patients to communicate with physicians and receive care,
Remote peak flow monitoring is commonly used to monitor asthma and COPD. Patients enrolled in a remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM) program will use an FDA-cleared peak flow meter device. The service is covered under Medicare and eligible for reimbursement. This
People at high risk for stroke and stroke survivors can help prevent a first or repeat stroke with vital signs monitoring. Remote patient monitoring (RPM) technology gives patients the ability to track vital signs from home. With RPM, health data
For millions of people, seasonal changes and environmental triggers can bring a significant decline in quality of life. In the United States alone, over 20 million adults battle asthma, a condition often inextricably linked to severe allergies. When these conditions
Wearable remote patient monitoring is an area of healthcare that utilizes innovative technologies such as remote patient monitoring devices, wearable devices, medical-grade sensors, biosensors, and smart devices. These tools allow healthcare providers to track patient health data continuously outside traditional
The shortage of healthcare professionals is placing a big strain on medical teams, and signaling a need for efficient solutions. Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is growing and with that growth it brings new career opportunities for nurses and other healthcare
As the U.S. population ages and caregiving responsibilities grow, so too does the risk of isolation and loneliness. Findings published in the Journals of Gerontology report that caregiver isolation and caregiver loneliness are reaching crisis levels. In fact, nearly one
