Remote+Patient+Monitoring


 * Term:** Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)

Recent updates to the Remote Patient Monitoring system have been made in support of trying to make this system wireless and mobile. For example, Motorola has put in money in efforts of making this system mobile on the hospital’s side. With the ability of nurses to check and make needed adjustments to patient care while being mobile, this enables the nurses to be able to do much more than they could if they were stuck in one room or constantly roaming to central nursing stations.
 * Description:** Remote Patient Monitoring is a form of medical treatment under the telemedicine branch. It has traditionally been utilized by making used of telephone lines to monitor and manage patients living at home. This monitoring can be done over broadband connections, satellite networks, or even cellular networks.


 * Applications: For years, hospitals have been trying to reduce the massive costs that medical practices entail. Many believe that RPM may be the cure for this. Advances such as making sensors that measure vital signs and symptoms as small as pills will save money and valuable time and resources from constant patient visits to the hospital for routine check-ups. **
