Remote patient-monitoring equipment
Devices that capture a patient's physiological data outside the clinic and route it to a care team — replacing calendar-based follow-up with alert-based care; in China not yet applied at large scale as of 2023.
1 · What it gives
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is a digital health solution that captures and records patient physiological data outside a traditional care setting. Alert-based monitoring may replace structured calendar-based follow-up. Maturity differs by market: Philips VISICU implemented over 30 remote ICU programmes, whereas in China remote medical devices had not yet been applied at large scale as of 2023.
