What types of devices are used in remote patient monitoring?
RPM device categories include: wrist-worn devices (smartwatches for heart rate/rhythm, SpO₂), chest-worn ECG patches (continuous arrhythmia detection for up to 14 days), connected peripherals (Bluetooth blood pressure cuffs, glucometers, pulse oximeters), implantable monitors (cardiac devices with remote interrogation), ambient sensors (motion detectors, bed sensors for frailty/dementia care), and continuous glucose monitors (subcutaneous sensors providing readings every 1–5 minutes).
