Remote Patient Monitoring

Continuous Care Beyond Clinic Walls with IoT and AI

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) enables continuous health tracking for chronic disease patients, post-operative recovery, elderly care, and preventive health. Doccure integrates IoT devices, AI analytics, and care team workflows.

  • Connect 9+ medical devices—BP monitors, glucometers, pulse oximeters, weight scales, ECG monitors, thermometers, spirometers. Bluetooth-enabled devices auto-sync data to patient's EMR. No manual data entry required. Devices work with smartphones or dedicated tablets. Battery-powered for portability.

Patients take measurements at prescribed times (e.g., blood pressure twice daily, weight every morning). Data transmitted automatically to care team. AI analyzes trends—detects concerning patterns before patient symptomatic. Historical data graphed for visual trend analysis.

AI triggers alerts for abnormal readings: BP spike, glucose too low, oxygen saturation dropping, sudden weight gain (heart failure warning). Alerts sent to doctor, patient, and family members simultaneously. Escalation protocols—if not addressed within timeframe, alert escalates to on-call physician.

 

Doctor reviews alert, assesses severity. Options: medication adjustment via telemedicine, schedule urgent clinic visit, instruct patient to go to ER, reassure patient if false alarm. Document intervention in EMR. Track time from alert to intervention (quality metric).

Medication Adherence

Automated medication reminders at dosing times. Patient confirms taking medication. Missed dose alerts sent to care team. Family oversight option—adult children monitor elderly parent’s adherence. Improved adherence: 62% typical → 89% with RPM.

For Doctors

  • Risk scores displayed in patient dashboard
  • Automated clinical decision support
  • Preventive intervention recommendations
  • Referral suggestions to specialists

Chronic Disease Programs

Diabetes—glucose monitoring, HbA1c tracking, diet/exercise coaching. Hypertension—BP monitoring, medication optimization. Heart failure—daily weights, symptom tracking, early intervention reduces hospitalizations 60%. COPD—oxygen saturation, inhaler technique education, exacerbation prevention

For Doctors

  • Risk scores displayed in patient dashboard
  • Automated clinical decision support
  • Preventive intervention recommendations
  • Referral suggestions to specialists

Financial Models

Medicare/insurance reimbursement for RPM (typically $50-100 per patient per month). Patients pay out-of-pocket for premium monitoring. Employers sponsor RPM for employees with chronic conditions. Hospital systems use RPM to prevent readmissions (saves money on value-based contracts).

For Administrators

  • Population health risk mapping
  • Resource allocation optimization
  • Care management program targeting
  • Quality metric improvement

ROI Impact

60% reduction in preventable hospitalizations, 40% decrease in ER visits, 28% improvement in disease control (lower HbA1c, BP at goal), $2,300 average savings per patient per year. Patient satisfaction: 87% prefer RPM to frequent clinic visits.
