Increased Chronic Disease Burden and Customised Care Needs Propel Remote Patient Monitoring Market Expansion

The growing demand for customized healthcare is one of the key drivers for the remote patient monitoring (RPM) market, as one advantage of RPM is that it can deliver customized care plans that will promote patient engagement and adherence to prescribed therapy.  A study created by the National Institutes of Health indicates RPM can cut emergency room utilization by as much as 40% and hospital readmissions by as much as 30% among chronic disease populations, such as diabetes, proving the efficiency of tailored care. Increased consumer acceptance of patient-focused care, combined with greater access to wearable technology and health-monitoring devices, has also placed RPM implementation in the position to spur beneficial change within the health care delivery process. Due to these reasons of individualized care RPM remains an opportunity for the development of health in the overall market.

The rising rates of chronic diseases are one of the key drivers for the remote patient monitoring (RPM) market, creating an ever-growing demand for technology to monitor patients' health more effectively, continuously.  RPM technologies that may involve patient-worn devices, connected medical devices, or digital health software apps may be utilized for monitoring signs of life (heart rate), blood glucose levels, blood pressures, oxygen saturation levels, etc. As chronic illnesses become more prevalent throughout the world and are related to older individuals in need of sustained health care management or chronic diseases caused by stressors in one's lifestyle, relocation of patients to an RPM solution will be progressively more valuable-adding and comparable to or superior to other healthcare solutions to help sustain health and overall wellness for direct healthcare savings and quality of life for individuals with chronic disease.

Major drivers of the remote patient monitoring (RPM) market are the cost and operational inefficiencies of chronic disease management, accounting for over 70% of the healthcare expenditure across the world. RPM makes management of chronic disease scalable by tracking patients continuously outside of an acute care environment. The outcome is early complication detection, proactive intervention, and reduced transplant, acute care, or hospitalization. Studies have demonstrated a 38% reduction in hospital readmissions for patients who use RPM, as well as a 25% reduction in emergency room visits, both of which are reasonable outcomes that reduce healthcare expenses. As chronic disease care becomes easier, the healthcare system becomes more productive and thus will pave the way to the wider utilization of RPM models by worldwide stakeholders in the healthcare industry.

AI Integration, Elderly Care Expansion, and Mental Health Monitoring Create Major Opportunities in Remote Patient Monitoring

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and predictive analytics is a revolutionary chance for the remote patient monitoring market, an opportunity for smarter, better-informed healthcare. AI algorithms can analyse the immense amount of updated, patient-reported health information, particularly information regarding heart rates, glucose levels, blood pressure, sleep and more, for abnormal trends in real-time and forecast negative health outcomes before they occur. For example, predictive analytics can forecast potential heart failure exacerbations with 80–85% accuracy, thus creating time for intervention and avoiding hospitalisation. With worldwide data volume expected to increase over 36% each year for health care, AI is set to play a pivotal role in managing, interpreting and deriving meaning from data generated through RPM. Furthermore, AI-based RPM platforms streamline clinical workflows, efficiently triaging patients according to risk scores, fighting clinician alert fatigue, and maximising efficiency around patient care.

Post-acute and elderly care is a significant opportunity in the remote patient monitoring market since the world is witnessing rapid population ageing and increased pressure to deliver continuous non-hospital care. With an increased number of ageing adults with a combination of multiple chronic diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, and heart failure, having the potential to monitor patients, even without being 24/7, offers real-time interventions to avert adverse clinical outcomes that trigger hospital readmission. In a post-acute environment, where recuperation from surgical intervention or severe illness is imperative, RPM can substantially reduce hospitalisation stays and detect early indicators of deterioration to minimise hospital readmission rates by as much as 30%. RPM enables older adults to sustain a desired alternative to institutionalised care through a safer, less expensive, clinically integrated care model that increases their overall quality of life while reducing caregiver burden and health system demands.

As one of the remote patient monitoring market segments, remote monitoring of mental health and behavioural disorders is a high-growth opportunity because it is a fast-growing market due to the higher number of mental health disorders happening worldwide and the demand for affordable, continuous care. The pandemic inexorably added to the pre-existing burden of depression and anxiety, with anxiety and depression worldwide rising by an estimated more than 25% following COVID-19. RPM solutions (wearables, mobile apps, and connected devices) allow for real-time tracking of mood, stress, sleep, and medication adherence. They present opportunities for providers to intervene early to avert worsening mental health and also enhance treatment consistent with objective feedback. For instance, biometric sensors might take real-time measures of physiological distress that would allow preemptive mental health strategies in mental care.

Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities and Data Privacy Risks Threaten Trust and Adoption of Remote Patient Monitoring Systems

Data privacy and cybersecurity have emerged as principal threats to the remote patient monitoring market, not least because of the amount of sensitive health data that is continuously handled in such systems. RPM includes computerized medical systems utilized to obtain real-time data about components of health status, such as blood pressure, blood sugar level, signs of mental status, etc., and transmit these data across digital networks for purposes of use by healthcare professionals. With every instance of such information traveling from one party to the other, there is potential for a failure of security and privacy. By the year 2023, healthcare data breaches will have hit over 133 million individuals in the United States alone, and the healthcare industry will have reported almost 30 per cent of all cybersecurity breaches around the world. RPM providers are especially at risk because many RPM platforms involve the use of cloud-based or Internet of Things (IoT) enabled devices.

The categories of risk to remote patient monitoring systems include unauthorized access to tenant instances, being a victim of ransomware, or interception of the communication of forwarded health information from the monitoring device. Not only would a data breach on RPM platforms cause serious concerns around exposing patient-related data, but it could also result in identity theft or misuse of a patient's personal health information. Furthermore, breach of federal guidelines on data privacy and standards such as HIPAA or GDPR might expose RPM providers to over US$1.5 million in fines per breach. With such threats at stake, most RPM providers can experience provider opt-out with origin through greater risks, and patient opt-out, for instance, due to decreased trust in the provider. Those that are not offering the necessary levels of encryption, authentication, and accountability frameworks may have serious weaknesses, which might rely heavily on bullying to slow down or stop RPM's uptake in the global health industry.

Next-Generation Remote Monitoring Technologies Accelerate Real-Time, Personalised Cardiovascular and Chronic Care Management

VBDP is a better version of the continuous remote patient monitoring (RPM) system. The VBDP was created by working with AWS cloud infrastructure to develop a system that enables continuous remote wireless patient data tracking at any speed or scale from anywhere to the cloud. For instance, in May 2024, while cardiovascular disease continues to be one of the world's biggest killers, Vivalink, a top provider of digital healthcare solutions, announces the release of its innovative integrated technology solution made to deliver Mobile Cardiac Telemetry (MCT) and Holter monitoring.

The emergence of next-generation cellular-connected blood pressure monitoring is significantly elevating the accuracy and accessibility of remote chronic care, broadening the uptake of RPM solutions, and driving much more personalized, real-time cardiovascular management. For instance, in July 2024, Smart Meter launched its next breakthrough: the first cellular-connected, multi-cuff blood pressure monitor for RPM and chronic care management (CCM)™, the industry's leading Cellular Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)™ solution provider.

The new technology will revolutionize the delivery of care to patients through its enhanced accuracy, accessibility, and availability of full health data to the 129 million Americans living with chronic illness. For instance, in October 2024, Withings Health Solutions introduced BPM Pro 2, the world's first cellular blood pressure monitor and the first in heart health monitoring. The new cellular blood pressure monitor not only takes accurate readings, but it also introduces a priceless new element to the information it captures - context from the patients' everyday lives.
