What devices are accepted for RPM?

Any tool used should meet the FDA`s definition of a “clinical tool”. The RPM tool should digitally (i.e, automatically) add patient physiologic information (i.e., information can’t be self-recorded or self-pronounced through the patient ). Devices should transmit legitimate physiologic information this is affordable and essential to diagnose or deal with and permit know-how of the patient`s health reputation to broaden and manipulate a plan of treatment.

  • Heart rate monitor
  • Glucometer
  • Thermometer
  • Weighing scale
  • Spiro meter
