Remote Patient Monitoring to Improve Outcomes in Heart Failure.

Abstract

In chronic medical conditions remote patient monitoring (RPM), is beneficial to empower both medical providers and patients. RPM supports medical care and early interventions to potentially promote patient's disease management and improve outcomes. In heart failure, although RPM holds significant promise, published trials provide evidence regarding historical success and failures that inform future efforts. Heart failure has increased in incidence and prevalence during the past years, leading to significant cost. We must find alternate ways to monitor daily disease progression and symptomatology to allow the patient and their health provider react to not only reduce cardiovascular outcomes but reduce hospitalizations and readmission rates. Here we display most up to date studies and analysis of our perspective on the role of RPM in heart failure.
