Adherence
Remote patient monitoring interventions that include personalized coaching, health behavior models, or clinician feedback loops are more successful in improving clinical outcomes than RPM alone.
If you use RPM, ensure it includes a human element. Look for programs that offer personalized coaching, group-based behavioral therapy, or active clinician feedback. These components are what drive success, not the device itself.
