Remote Patient Monitoring in India: What Will it Take to Scale Beyond Premium Care?
Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) allows doctors and other healthcare professionals to monitor a patient's health remotely using connected medical devices, digital platforms and patient-reported information. RPM can assist patients who require regular medical attention, such as those recovering after surgery, patients receiving long-term treatment and those at risk of deterioration, by helping healthcare teams detect early warning signs and initiate care.
RPM can improve continuity of care for Indian citizens suffering from chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and heart failure, especially those living far from urban centres or unable to afford specialist services. However, its adoption remains limited by the cost of equipment, inadequate internet connectivity in remote areas, doctors' workloads and the lack of sustainable service-delivery models.
