Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) enables health care teams to digitally monitor and engage with their patients outside of their traditional care setting using a SaaS based Chronic Care Management (CCM) platform. RPM enables collection of physiological data that is automatically transmitted and stored through the Kencor Health platform. Here, AI capable technology is leveraged to triage patients, conduct automated follow-up, and alert care teams to patients' varying conditions.
RPM has transformed health services by changing the modality of healthcare delivery for the better, improving provider-patient relationships, and bringing healthcare to previously unreachable remote populations.
