Remote patient monitoring is revolutionizing healthcare, with the potential to improve day-to-day wellness, manage chronic conditions, and promote health equity. Oren Nissim, CEO and cofounder of Brook Health, a care management company utilizing telehealth and artificial intelligence for home-based care, is optimistic about the future of remote patient monitoring in 2025. Here are some key trends he anticipates for the year ahead:
Congestive heart failure (CHF) management is set to undergo a transformation in 2025. Traditional episodic care models are proving insufficient for the growing CHF population. Remote patient monitoring will evolve into an intelligent early warning system, combining real-time physiological data with AI-driven pattern recognition to detect signs of deterioration before serious symptoms manifest. This proactive approach, integrating AI monitoring with human care teams, will enable healthcare organizations to implement triage protocols and provide personalized guidance for self-management, ultimately reducing emergency department visits and improving patient outcomes. Additionally, remote patient monitoring platforms will allow cardiologists to extend their expertise to every CHF patient’s home, regardless of geographic location.
The intersection of GLP-1 drugs, prescribed for diabetes control and weight loss, and remote patient monitoring will be a significant focus in 2025. Healthcare organizations will develop monitoring protocols tailored for patients on GLP-1s, tracking medication adherence, side effects, and impacts on multiple conditions. This comprehensive monitoring will optimize dosing, manage side effects, and maximize the benefits of these medications. By integrating remote patient monitoring with GLP-1 therapy, healthcare providers will gain valuable insights into the real-world impacts of these medications on chronic disease progression, enabling more effective management of multiple chronic conditions simultaneously.
Health equity is a pressing issue in healthcare, and remote care has the potential to address longstanding disparities. In 2025, healthcare organizations will develop culturally competent remote care programs that combine RPM technology with human support to overcome barriers of language, health literacy, and trust in underserved communities. These programs will not only focus on clinical monitoring but also address social determinants of health, integrating community health workers and connecting patients with local resources for comprehensive care. By bridging historical gaps in care access and quality, technology combined with human touch can begin to close disparities in chronic disease outcomes in rural and urban underserved areas.
In conclusion, remote patient monitoring is poised to revolutionize healthcare in 2025, offering new opportunities for proactive management of chronic conditions, optimization of medication therapy, and advancement of health equity. By harnessing the power of technology and human support, healthcare organizations can deliver high-quality care to all patients, regardless of their background or location.
