Remote patient monitoring in rehabilitation programs: challenges and prospects
https://doi.org/10.17749/2949-5873/rehabil.2024.31
Abstract
Regular evaluation of the effectiveness of the rehabilitation strategy as well as the individual methods applied is an integral element of modern personalized support. To obtain a denser flow of health information and assess compliance, the use of remote patient monitoring (RPM) in cardiovascular and neurological rehabilitation programs is appropriate. However, it is worth paying close attention not only to the obvious benefits of RPM, but also to the problems and challenges that may be an obstacle to widespread implementation of this system.
