Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is a subfield of homecare telehealth that enables patients to collect and transmit patient-generated health data (PGHD) using mobile medical devices and technology. Vital signs, weight, blood pressure, and pulse rate are the physiological data typically collected by RPM programs. Patient data is delivered to a physician's office by a specialized telehealth computer system or software program installed on a smartphone, computer, or tablet following its collection.

RPM is frequently employed to assist patients requiring chronic, post-discharge, or senior care. Integrating high-risk patients with remote monitoring allows healthcare organizations to be alerted to potential health issues or trace patient data between visits. RPM could also be utilized by businesses desiring to track workers' compensation claims and ensure that employees are on the correct path to return to work. Remote patient monitoring decreases the number of hospital readmissions, hospitalizations, and durations of stay in the hospital, leading to improved quality of life and reduced costs.
