Remote Patient Monitoring Specialist

What is remote patient monitoring?

Remote patient monitoring uses technologies, like wearable devices and the internet, to monitor your health from afar. It’s a safe, effective, and affordable way to prevent chronic conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or kidney disease from getting worse.

Even though there is no cure for chronic disease, remote patient monitoring makes it easier to reduce the risk of potentially serious or life-threatening complications. 

What conditions can benefit from remote patient monitoring?

At Maniya Health, the team uses remote patient monitoring to monitor and treat various conditions, including:

• High blood pressure
• Diabetes
• Congestive heart failure
• Kidney disease
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

You might also benefit from remote patient monitoring if you develop an acute illness like the seasonal flu or COVID-19. 

What does remote patient monitoring involve?

Before enrolling in remote patient monitoring at Maniya Health, you have a review of your medical history, a discussion of your symptoms, and a comprehensive physical exam. If your provider determines you have a chronic illness, like high blood pressure or diabetes, they may enroll you in the remote patient monitoring program.

Before you leave the office, your provider explains how to check your blood pressure and/or blood sugar at home and provides you with a connected blood pressure machine or glucose meter. Whenever you take a reading at home, it’s automatically sent to the Maniya Health system.

Your provider monitors your readings regularly and, if necessary, calls you to make treatment changes. The rich data that remote patient monitoring provides makes it easy for your provider to adjust your medications or personalize your treatment plan over time.
