Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) devices collect information on patients’ health, including vital signs, blood pressure, glucose, heart rate, and others. The data is automatically transferred to the health practitioner. Some of the most common RPM devices are weight monitors, glucose meters, oximeters, and blood pressure meters. These devices transmit data wirelessly and are enabled with cellular or Bluetooth capability.
These devices comply with FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and the authority defines the term “medical devices”.
