Applications-of-Healthcare-IoT-Devices-in-Remote-Patient-Monitoring-.jpg

Overview

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) is a healthcare technology that enables healthcare providers to monitor patients outside of traditional clinical settings, such as hospitals or clinics. It involves the use of various devices, such as wearable sensors, mobile apps, and connected medical devices, to collect and transmit patient data to healthcare professionals in real-time. This data can include vital signs, such as heart rate, blood pressure, blood glucose levels, and other health metrics. RPM allows healthcare providers to remotely monitor patients’ health status, manage chronic conditions, and intervene promptly if any issues arise, thereby improving patient outcomes and reducing the need for frequent in-person visits to healthcare facilities.

Depending on specific features and functions, GAO Tek’s Healthcare IoT Devices are sometimes referred to as Medical IoT Devices, Healthcare Wearables, Connected Health Devices, Digital Health Gadgets, Smart Health Devices, Telemedicine Tools, Remote Health Monitors, Health Tech Sensors, Wireless Health Devices, and IoT Medical Sensors.
