Enhancing Chronic Illness Management with Wellbox's Remote Patient Monitoring Solutions (Full Transcript)

Speaker 1: Wellbox helps chronically ill patients monitor their health from the safety of their own home with easy-to-use remote patient monitoring, or RPM, solutions. Face-to-face office visits give healthcare providers a snapshot into the health of their patient at the moment of the visit. RPM technologies expand that view exponentially, providing doctors valuable clinical data they wouldn't otherwise have access to. Telehealth solutions like CCM and RPM have had a measurable impact on people with chronic illness. A review of studies on the effectiveness of blood pressure monitoring among patients with hypertension found that a majority of the studies showed improvement in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The Wellbox RPM solution is purpose-built for patient engagement. The Patient Advocate Monitor, or PAM, connects patients to their care team at the touch of a button, collects important clinical data, and can even be programmed to provide helpful reminders for upcoming appointments.
