Title
Remote Patient Monitoring and Virtual Wards
Description
Remote Patient Monitoring and virtual wards allow patients to receive hospital-level care and treatment in their own homes or usual place of residence, using digital technology to monitor their condition remotely. Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) is where healthcare providers monitor patients outside the traditional care setting using digital medical devices, such as weight scales, blood pressure monitors, pulse oximeters, and blood glucose meters. A Virtual Ward, also known as Hospital at Home, is a model of care that provides hospital-level treatment to patients in their own homes or care homes, rather than in a hospital. They are staffed by multidisciplinary teams (MDT) using technology for remote monitoring and communication.
