What is Remote Patients Monitoring? (RPM) 

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) is an efficient healthcare delivery
method that uses digital technologies to monitor and analyze vital such as your blood pressure in your own home or wherever you are. RPM technology electronically transmits health information from you in your home and to your care team at Islands Community Medical Services (ICMS).

ICMS uses RPM to collect patient vital signs,
including blood pressure, vital signs, weight, heart rate, blood sugar
levels, and physical activity. Your data is safe, secure, and will never be sold to a third party.

What are the Benefits of RPM ?

More convenient and safe access to care
Patients no longer have to miss time from work or take lengthy trips for follow-ups. Now, they
can meet with a care team member from the convenience of their home. The risk of infection at the clinic is eliminated.

Improved quality of care
Remote monitoring improves patient engagement and helps them to take control of their health.

Peace of mind
With this personalized experience, the patient and their families will immediately feel that the
clinician is watching out for their health and well-being.
​

Improved support, education, and feedback
Patients get daily info – vital signs, trending data, graphs - and have access to educational content to give them the information they need to take control of improving their health.
