An overview of the effect of telehealth on mortality: A systematic review of meta-analyses Introduction Telehealth is recognised as a viable way of providing health care over distance, and an effective way to increase access for individuals with transport difficulties or those living in rural and remote areas. While telehealth has many positives for patients, [...]
A current and future outlook on upcoming technologies in remote monitoring of patients with heart failure Heart failure is a major health and economic challenge in both developing and developed countries. Despite advances in pharmacological and device therapies for patients with a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and heart failure, their quality of life [...]
Sensor, Wearable, and Remote Patient Monitoring Competencies for Clinical Care and Training: Scoping Review Abstract Sensor, wearable, and remote patient monitoring technologies are typically used in conjunction with video and/or in-person care for a variety of interventions and care outcomes. This scoping review identifies clinical skills (i.e., competencies) needed to ensure quality care and approaches [...]
Remote Optimization of Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy in Patients With Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction Importance: Optimal treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is scripted by treatment guidelines, but many eligible patients do not receive guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) in clinical practice. Objective: To determine whether a remote, algorithm-driven, navigator-administered medication optimization program could [...]
Cardiovascular Events and Costs With Home Blood Pressure Telemonitoring and Pharmacist Management for Uncontrolled Hypertension Abstract Uncontrolled hypertension is a leading contributor to cardiovascular disease. A cluster-randomized trial in 16 primary care clinics showed that 12 months of home blood pressure telemonitoring and pharmacist management lowered blood pressure more than usual care (UC) for 24 [...]
Home monitoring with technology-supported management in chronic heart failure: a randomised trial Objectives We aimed to investigate whether digital home monitoring with centralised specialist support for remote management of heart failure (HF) is more effective in improving medical therapy and patients’ quality of life than digital home monitoring alone. Methods In a two-armed partially blinded parallel randomised [...]
Journal of Endocrine Society: Diabetes Telehealth Solutions: Improving Self-Management Through Remote Initiation of Continuous Glucose Monitoring The purpose of this study was to evaluate feasibility of initiating continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) through telehealth as a means of expanding access. Substantial benefits of CGM to quality of life were observed, with reduced diabetes distress, increased satisfaction [...]
Mount Sinai Uses Remote Patient Monitoring to Rapidly Respond to COVID-19 A new remote monitoring platform developed by the Mount Sinai Health System is helping health care providers to care for COVID-19 patients who are recovering at home. With the platform, providers can monitor the patients’ symptoms and adjust care as necessary, including sending the [...]
Adherence to and Retention in Medications for Opioid Use Disorder Among Adolescents and Young Adults Abstract The volatile opioid epidemic is associated with higher levels of opioid use disorder (OUD) and negative health outcomes in adolescents and young adults. Medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) demonstrate the best evidence for treating OUD. Adherence to and [...]
Assessment of remote patient monitoring (RPM) systems for patients with type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis Introduction The objective of this study is to conduct an assessment of Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) systems compared to usual care for controlling glycosylated hemoglobin in type 2 diabetes. Conclusion The current study indicted the efficacy of [...]
