Remote Patient Monitoring-Get Treatment Wherever You Are
Remote Patient Monitoring or RPM is a technology which includes regular monitoring devices
such as sugar monitoring of a diabetic patient. Data thus collected is sent to
a specialist by using internet-based tools.
We saw RPM in action
when my grandfather was suffering from a disease called Parkinson. This disease
causes stiffness in arms and legs and he was unable to move. My Father, a
renowned physician had set up a whole monitoring system in his bedroom and used
to monitor his every vital sign. Monitoring helped him to know what drugs to
give and what his father is going through even when he was busy.
This is what remote
monitoring is used for all the data is stored in a relational database and a
specialist can view it at any instance and find trends.
Now, with the new
machine learning concepts, these trends can be even generated by the system and
can help early diagnosis of a disease.
Remote Patient Monitoring
is used very beneficial for old people and people with chronic disease.
Monitoring them keeps people healthy, allow elderly and disabled people to live
in the comfort of their home and avoid the travel.
Rpm has one more
benefit it reduces the number of patients in a hospital and for a country like
India where there is a lack of hospital beds, this can help improve the
situation.
This is a part of Telehealth
and Telemedicine which is now changing the healthcare industry. People and
Doctors are more connected and thus help in reducing the time and money in the
treatment of patients. This seems in a way that it will increase the cost of
treatment but it is not always true. Patients who need constant monitoring can
now be at their home and thus save a lot of money.
