How Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) Helps Manage Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)

Heart failure, also known as congestive heart failure, is a common chronic illness that results in recurring hospital stays, which lowers patients’ quality of life and puts a significant strain on healthcare systems. By continually monitoring vital indicators like blood pressure, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels (SpO2), Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) plays a crucial role in the management of patients with heart failure, with the goal of making patient monitoring easy and reducing re-hospitalization rates.

Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) accounts for over 1 million hospitalizations annually in the U.S., making it one of the leading causes of preventable readmissions¹. Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) is emerging as a game-changer in managing CHF by enabling timely interventions and improving patient outcomes.

In this blog, we’ll explore the importance of basic vital sign tracking, the growing need of RPM and cardiac monitoring in the management of congestive heart failure.
