Studies Show High Satisfaction with Remote Patient Monitoring
New York, Monday, 11 August 2025.
Three studies reveal high patient satisfaction with remote monitoring for chronic illnesses, highlighting enhanced engagement and potential healthcare cost savings.
Innovations in Remote Monitoring
Recent advances in remote patient monitoring (RPM) technologies have shown promising outcomes in terms of patient satisfaction and healthcare efficiency. In particular, studies focused on chronic conditions such as kidney disease, febrile neutropenia, and hypertensive pregnancy highlight how RPM can enhance patient convenience by reducing the need for frequent hospital visits and thereby improving overall patient experience [1]. For patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), RPM has been shown to reduce healthcare utilization costs related to dialysis over the long term, potentially saving significant resources [1].
Febrile Neutropenia and Patient Outcomes
Remote monitoring also has significant implications for patients with febrile neutropenia, a severe condition often experienced by cancer patients undergoing treatment. The DEFeNDR program, employing RPM, markedly reduced the percentage of hospital inpatient days and 30-day readmission rates among participants. Patients reported overwhelmingly positive experiences, with 100% stating they would recommend the RPM system to others [1].
Hypertensive Pregnancy and Technology Use
In addressing hypertensive disorders during pregnancy, RPM helps manage stress levels effectively while ensuring high patient satisfaction regarding usability. Patients utilizing RPM encountered fewer emergency visits and achieved better health outcomes, indicative of how technology integration supports efficient healthcare delivery [1]. Additionally, remote blood pressure monitoring, as explored in a recent feasibility study, provides similar advantages by offering timely data coordination between patients and healthcare providers [2].
Implications for Healthcare System
The proliferation of RPM systems is aligned with a growing demand for home-based healthcare solutions, driven by increasing chronic disease prevalence. The market for pressure monitoring devices is expected to grow significantly from USD 14.62 billion in 2025 to USD 25.88 billion by 2032, underscoring the substantial investment and expansion in this sector [3]. As these technologies advance, their impact on improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs is reshaping healthcare strategies globally.
