Effect of Remote Physiologic Monitoring (RPM) on Outcomes in COPD Patients

"The RPM service, tailored to chronic respiratory disease patients, utilizes a system that includes three components: undergarment-adhered cardiorespiratory sensors, in-home data transmission hub, and web-based clinical dashboard. The sensors are a set of six proprietary, skin-safe devices that include sensors for intermittent photoplethysmography, continuous respiratory force, and tri-axis accelerometers for activity. Clinical liaisons monitor deviations from patient-specific baselines and contact subjects for a risk assessment call, including questions about symptoms. If a subject fails the risk assessment, they are escalated to the site to be seen, and potentially treated, by their pulmonologist."
