Elevating Remote Patient Care with Continuous Monitoring

Virtual care has become a standard part of healthcare delivery, offering access to routine consultations, mental health support, chronic disease management, and various specialties. Advances in video conferencing tools, secure data sharing, and better network infrastructures have improved the reliability and user-friendliness of virtual care. Integration with Electronic Health Records (EHR) has enhanced clinician evaluation and documentation capabilities. Governments and insurance companies have adapted regulations to cover telehealth services, expanding coverage to a broader array of services. Continuous monitoring in telehealth is crucial for patient safety and well-being, especially for individuals with chronic conditions or those requiring ongoing care. However, intermittent monitoring also provides valuable data and can be less resource-intensive. The current system for monitoring post-operative ward patients relies on intermittent checks, which may not detect complications early enough to prevent adverse outcomes. Continuous monitoring presents technological challenges, particularly with connectivity and power consumption, but solutions like wireless wearable sensors are being explored. Virtual care companies like VeeOne Health are developing innovative technologies to expand access to quality care, simplify the clinician's experience, and save lives.
