The pandemic enforces the healthcare system to introduce RPM during PHE due to the growing number of patients so that doctors can collect patient information from remote locations using telehealth services.

Today, as the use-cases and benefits of RPM are clear many healthcare organizations have started to implement it on a large scale.

According to Health tech Insider reports, 20 % of large healthcare facilities surveyed by VivaLNK said they have already adopted some sort of RPM solution in their organization for efficient healthcare.

Furthermore, Nearly 9 out of 10 healthcare providers have already invested in or evaluated RPM technologies– Spyglass consulting group.

In 2020, after witnessing the benefits of remote patient monitoring technology and receiving hundreds of waiver requests from healthcare providers, state government, and state hospital associations during PHE, the Centre for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) temporarily suspended some rules to allow 80 additional services through telehealth services.

On December 1, 2020, CMS finalized new policies related to remote patient monitoring reimbursed under the Medicare program. The changes include:

• 2021 Physician Fee Schedule final rule clarifying how to interpret the requirement of RPM services
• General supervision for the purpose of the incident to billing

These new rules enable healthcare organizations to utilize RPM services to drive revenue and improve patient care experiences.

The next trend in RPM technology is the miniaturization of health monitoring devices, which are more smarter and invasive. The small size of wearable technology seems to be more comfortable and efficient for the customers to use and monitor.

One example of such a device is CART-I from Korean firm Sky Labs– a convenient wearable ring-type medical device that enables continuous monitoring of patients without user intervention.

It uses the finger as a measurement site to provide accurate information and also has better signal quality compared to other devices.

In the future, we can see more such devices with the ability to measure different vital signs in patients with better accuracy.

There are multiple applications that illustrate the higher potential of connected care using technologies such as,

• Telehealth for cognitive care
• Home health programs for chronic illness in old age people
• Access to expert physicians
• Remote intensive care
• Helping patients with medication adherence

However, for these applications to meet their full potential there are some criteria to meet,

• Need to gather enough information and evidence that ensures care through RPM does not harm patients.
• Policies and procedures must be set to align physicians to stick to the proper way of monitoring patients with disclosing their personal information. Also, financial incentives must be given to health workers and providers to get the desired outcome.
• Need for health policy research to evaluate how quality, cost, and other factors affect connected healthcare.

During the pandemic, it was challenging for healthcare providers to work in the frontline while being at risk to get infected. It is no surprise that the healthcare workers working in such situations encountered a lot of stress linked with their personal and family safety.

Further, dealing with multiple patients who are in psychological distress adds more stress to their work. The only solution to safeguard their mental stress is to minimize the number of patient admissions to the hospitals by providing them remote care through telehealth and telemedicine services.
