Introduction to the current use of cloud remote monitoring products
Healthcare technology is one of the fastest growing businesses right now, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. In an ageing and increasingly diverse world population, RPM (Remote Patient Monitoring) is a new invention with multiple advantages in the face of growing health problems.
What is remote patient monitoring?
Using electronic devices or digital technology, healthcare providers can capture and monitor patient-generated health data and send it back to patients for diagnosis, assessment, and recommendations. For example, patients can regularly check their blood pressure at home using a sphygmomanometer, and then send the results electronically to a doctor, often automatically. Healthcare providers can use RPM to track, report and analyze acute and chronic diseases outside the clinical setting.
How does a remote patient monitoring system work?
Remote patient monitoring devices require digital technology to connect with patients and healthcare providers. Patients perform self-exams throughout the day and record their physiological metrics, which are then sent electronically to their doctor or technician.
Evaluate patients in nursing facilities, primary care clinics, hospitals, intensive care units, or offsite monitoring centers.
A healthcare professional gives treatment and advice.
Keep a close eye on each treatment option, make sure the treatments provided are working, and activate quick alerts when needed, such as prescription changes, admission to a nursing facility, or urgent care.
The RPM gadget allows nursing professionals to continue monitoring and treatment planning after a patient is discharged from the hospital or emergency room.
With the help of ECG lead wires, remote patient monitoring can be easily accomplished.
When monitoring a patient's physiological parameters, such as weight, symptoms, blood sugar, oxygen and pulse, from any location, physicians can collect more accurate and timely data. High-risk patients and those with chronic diseases, disabilities, or limited mobility may benefit greatly from real-time information exchange.
Types of Remote Patient Monitoring Devices
Heart disease, diabetes and Alzheimer's are among the 10 most common diseases. With regard to tracking the evolution of these diseases, remote patient monitoring devices can be of great help. Innovations like these may provide patients with more timely monitoring and care.
A blood pressure monitor.
The patient's heart rate and blood flow can be accurately determined by monitoring the movement of the patient's arteries as the blood pressure cuff is deflated. Some blood pressure monitors may calculate a daily average by repeating readings over a period of time. Home monitoring can help early detection of conditions that cause high blood pressure, such as diabetes or kidney failure. It can also reduce stress for those involved in health care. .
An oximeter that continuously records blood oxygen saturation
The patient can use the oximeter to measure the blood oxygen saturation of the human body by measuring the absorption of light of a specific wavelength that penetrates the human finger according to the different absorption characteristics of HbO2 and Hb to red light and infrared light.
Electrocardiogram monitor (ECG)
During endurance or exercise training, these remote patient ECG monitors, paired with high-quality ECG leads, still capture the heart's electrical impulses in real-time and communicate them to physicians. 1
