Empowering Caregivers with RPM: How It Supports Family Caregiving
With remote healthcare gaining tremendous popularity over the years, Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) is playing a significant role in providing the right care to chronic patients who gain from remote monitoring between in-clinic visits.
As per a study conducted by the National Alliance for Caregiving, there are over 53 million caregivers in the United States who are helping their loved ones by monitoring their conditions, right from medication management to emotional support. The stress that comes with assisting a patient around the clock can be overwhelming. This is where RPM comes into play and provides the support to family caregivers, so they can manage their responsibilities care-free.
RPM uses FDA-approved and connected devices to collect and transmit patients’ vitals, such as heart rate, blood pressure, weight, blood glucose levels, and oxygen saturation. Often in the form of reports, this health data can be tracked in real time and provides both caregivers and healthcare providers with the insights they need to provide better care.
