At Wexford Health Partners, we offer remote patient monitoring (RPM) services to our patients in Wexford, PA. Our system includes easy-to-use mobile and tablet apps that let patients enter their own health data and send it to their healthcare provider for review.

Real-Time Remote Patient Monitoring Services
Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) refers to the use of technology to collect patient health data outside of traditional healthcare settings and transmit that information electronically to healthcare providers for assessment and potential intervention. This type of monitoring allows patients to receive care in their own homes or other non-clinical settings, while healthcare providers can remotely monitor their health and make treatment decisions based on real-time data.
RPM can include the use of devices and telehealth technologies such as:
- Wearable sensors
- Mobile apps
- Home monitoring equipment
- Videoconferencing
- Remote consultations
RPM can be especially useful for patients with chronic conditions or those who require frequent monitoring, allowing for earlier detection of health problems and potentially reducing the need for hospitalization or emergency care. We find this especially effective in monitoring conditions such as:
- Diabetes: Regular monitoring and adjustment of medication can help patients better manage their blood glucose levels.
- Hypertension: Blood pressure readings need to be monitored closely in order to correctly diagnose and treat hypertension.
- Congestive Heart Failure (CHF): Monitoring of vital signs including heart rate, respiration and oxygen saturation can help detect any deterioration in the patient's condition.
At Wexford Health Partners, we strive to make healthcare more accessible and convenient for patients through leading-edge technology, experienced providers, and a compassionate, patient first approach. If you’d like to learn more, contact our office today.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of remote patient monitoring?
The main benefit of RPM is that it allows healthcare providers to monitor their patients’ vital signs without having them come into the office. This reduces costs for both patients and doctors as well as providing more convenient access to care for those who may have difficulty traveling to a clinic or hospital. Additionally, RPM can help healthcare providers detect potential problems sooner and provide faster treatment for medical conditions.
Who should consider using remote patient monitoring?
Remote Patient Monitoring can be beneficial for anyone who wants to stay informed about their health but may not be able to visit their doctor regularly due to travel constraints or other factors. It can also be helpful for those with chronic conditions who need regular check-ups or those recovering from surgery who want additional support while they heal at home.
