With the on and off lockdowns and less availability of the doctors, the need for the remote monitoring of the individual’s health seems to be the future of healthcare.
Better control over the treatment plans
Remote patient monitoring allows patients to take more control of their health whilst reducing the footfall of the healthcare facilities. Thus allowing the resources to be focused where they are needed most.
As demand for healthcare continues to grow, Remote patient monitoring offers better control over the treatment plans. It plays a key role in assisting healthcare staff to manage increasing demand without adding pressure to an already strained system.
Improver's the patient quality of life
Incorporating Remote patient monitoring can improve patients’ quality of life, by allowing them to maintain independence, prevent complications, and minimize costs.
It can be especially helpful for patients who are undergoing complex self-care processes such as diabetes, post-operative care, home dialysis, or congestive heart failure.
The best part about remote patient monitoring is it enables early analysis of the health condition, detecting the health issue and timely treatments can be givien. The timely interventions can improve the patient's life dramatically.
However, doctors have been challenged to reinvent their practices to accommodate their patients during the COVID-19 pandemic and swiftly adopt and adapt to video consultations and remote patient monitoring.
COVID-19 has motivated both patients and clinicians to embrace new technologies and one of them is remote monitoring management.
The demand on our healthcare systems will continue to rise, yet with technology focused on earlier detection and intervention, this can be better managed, preventing more costly treatments and entirely benefitting the healthecare.
