Abstract

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) has driven significant advancements in Canadian healthcare, especially during the transformative period from 2018 to 2023. This perspective article explores the state of play and examines the current landscape of RPM platforms adopted across Canada, detailing their functionalities and measurable impacts on healthcare outcomes, particularly in chronic disease management and hospital readmission reduction. We explore the regulatory, technical, and operational challenges that RPM faces, including critical issues around data privacy, security, and interoperability, factors essential for sustainable integration. Additionally, this article provides a balanced analysis of RPM's potential for continued growth within Canadian healthcare, highlighting its strengths and limitations in the post-2023 context and offering strategic recommendations to guide its future development. Keywords: Remote Patient Monitoring, Digital Health, Virtual Care, Canadian Healthcare, Healthcare Technology, AI, Perspectives.
