Remote patient monitoring

Remote patient monitoring uses devices like BP sets, glucometers, and waiting scales to provide your doctor with information about your health from day to day. They can check your blood glucose levels, monitor your blood pressure, and perform many other functions using remote patient monitoring.

Your doctor also recommends changes you need to make for better overall health. They can help you lose weight and quit smoking, which can be challenging without the right help. Your doctor teaches you stress management techniques and provides information on the best way for you to exercise more and eat a nutritious diet.

These changes reduce chronic disease symptoms and slow their progress. The package of chronic care management services available to you significantly lowers your risk of disability, complications like diabetic ulcers, and life-threatening events like strokes and heart attacks.
