What is remote patient monitoring?

• Remote patient monitoring (RPM) uses medical technology to gather health information without requiring frequent visits to a medical office. This allows you to go about your life with minimal disruptions and still reap the benefits of close medical monitoring.
• You have access to fast digital data in most aspects of your life, and RPM leverages that in medical care, particularly to support patients living with chronic conditions like hypertension and diabetes.
• RPM collects data with devices such as digital blood pressure monitors and blood glucose meters, which sync to a platform that securely transmits data to Rockland Family Medical Care. Your provider reviews the data regularly or gets an alert if readings fall outside normal ranges.

How does remote patient monitoring work? 

• We proudly partner with a trusted RPM company HealthFlow known for its cutting-edge technology, exceptional patient support, and commitment to improving health outcomes to provide continuous, high-quality care between office visits. 
• RPM empowers you to proactively impact your health, and the devices required aren’t complicated. You can get comfortable, possibly on your couch or in your favorite chair, and take a digital reading with a blood pressure cuff or glucometer.
• The device securely transmits the data to Rockland Family Medical Care, and if all is going well, no action is required. If your condition is getting worse and the data is concerning, your provider will help you immediately correct the course.
• This fast response is a key component of how RPM promotes much better current and future health outcomes, whether your provider adjusts your medications, provides lifestyle coaching, or schedules an in-person visit to get additional information.

How can remote patient monitoring benefit me?

If you have hypertension, RPM helps by:

• Providing consistent tracking with daily readings for a clearer picture of your health
• Reducing white-coat syndrome — home measurements often reflect more accurate blood pressure levels.
• Enabling timely interventions with real-time data, avoiding complications like stroke or heart disease

If you have diabetes, RPM can help you overcome the common issue of blood sugar level fluctuations. More frequent readings can highlight patterns or identify triggers, which helps avoid emergencies by enabling the early detection of hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia.

Life is hectic, so RPM can also make it easier to stick to your treatment plan by providing automated reminders and feedback. Whatever your chronic health condition, RPM aims to detect issues before they escalate to minimize your emergency room visits and hospitalizations. Don’t wait to call Rockland Family Medical Care or book an appointment online if you’d like more information about remote patient monitoring.
