Remote Patient Monitoring Set To Boom in Health Care Technology

Requirements for COVID-19 lockdowns and social distancing have shifted the healthcare provision and patient monitoring towards growing tends of remote patient monitoring (RPM).

Requirements for COVID-19 lockdowns and social distancing have shifted the healthcare provision and patient monitoring towards remote options. Although remote patient monitoring (RPM) existed even before the start of the pandemic, the gain of this technology usage was relatively low.

Most commonly the remote patient monitoring (RPM) was earlier used to ensure better post-acute care and management of chronic conditions, such as diabetes. With the shift of pandemic, the technology now leads to a fundamental change in healthcare services delivery and clinical trials, says GlobalData – a leading data and analytics company.

Health ID Could be a Game Changer in India
New digital Health ID has been developed that contains detailed health information of patients, facilitating better, streamlined access to healthcare and is more user-friendly and convenient for all.

‘Requirements for COVID-19 lockdowns and social distancing have shifted the healthcare provision and patient monitoring towards remote option technologies like remote patient monitoring (RPM). This would further help in the advancement of health technology thereby providing access even in rural areas and prevent the growing burden of chronic diseases.’

The company conducted a short survey among a total of 198 GlobalData Pharma clients and prospects, fielded from November 17, 2020 to December 11, 2020.

Challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic have stirred up an anticipating hope to start fresh in 2021. A healthy diet, timely exercise, and proper self-care top the list of 2021 calendar resolutions.

"Despite much lower uptake in previous years, RPM got off to a strong start and witnessed a massive uptake in the life-sciences sector in 2020. With more patients, payers and physicians getting accustomed to virtual interactions, RPM will continue to transform healthcare delivery and accelerate adoption of decentralized/virtual clinical trials", says Urte Jakimaviciute MSc, Senior Director of Market Research.

These rising trends of RPM may drive a surge in other emerging industry trends such as patient empowerment, telemedicine, electronic health records, real-world evidence, and decentralized clinical trials.
