Remote Physiological Monitoring: Research Update

January 21, 2009  | New England Healthcare Institute


New England Healthcare Institute, January 21, 2009.

Overview:
Approximately 5.3 million people live with congestive heart failure in the United States today. Remote physiological monitoring (RPM) is a high-value, innovative telehealth technology with great potential to dramatically reduce costs and improve the quality of care for patients with this complex and costly disease. Since the publication of NEHI’s initial RPM research report in 2004, there has been growing evidence of the potential of RPM to dramatically reduce readmissions – a key cost driver – for heart failure patients. In a 2009 update to this report, NEHI presents new evidence of the technology’s cost effectiveness, as well as remaining barriers to its adoption.
