A needs-based approach to remote monitoring is one in which the platform or tools used to manage a patient’s care are chosen and prescribed based on the actual needs of that individual, rather than relying solely on their medical history and preferences. This ensures that patients receive the most appropriate monitoring and support possible, without feeling overloaded or overwhelmed by technology. Based on these needs, each patient will have different preferences when it comes to managing their digital enabled care in the home. Some might prefer an all-in-one system that takes care of all their devices, others might prefer a more hands-on approach where they can easily interact with their technology. It’s important for NHS and social care organisations to take into account this diversity when selecting a remote monitoring platform, in order to provide the best possible service for each individual patient.
