RPM is based on helping people with chronic, long-term conditions use in-home health measurement equipment to monitor and manage those conditions. The most frequently-found conditions are hypertension, obesity, diabetes, CHF, and COPD. It has been clinically shown that measuring a parameter daily, and interacting with a third-party who is tracking that measurement as an external monitor, can help in either improving the condition, or detecting anomalies before they become crises.
