What is the clinical evidence for remote patient monitoring in chronic disease management?

appliedchapter-22

RPM has demonstrated benefits in several chronic conditions: heart failure (reduced hospitalisations and mortality through daily weight and symptom monitoring), COPD (early detection of exacerbations through pulse oximetry and symptom diaries), diabetes (improved HbA1c and time-in-range through continuous glucose monitoring), and hypertension (better blood pressure control through home monitoring with clinical review). Evidence is strongest where RPM is integrated into structured care pathways with clear escalation protocols.
