Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)

Empowering you to stay healthy at home.

Metro Medical Associates now offers Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) to help patients with chronic or acute health issues manage their conditions safely from home. Using connected medical devices, you can share vital health data directly with your care team without needing frequent in‑office visits.

What is RPM?

Remote Patient Monitoring uses internet‑connected devices to collect your vital information—like blood pressure, blood glucose, oxygen levels, weight, and more—and send it automatically to your provider. This continuous data allows your doctor to monitor your health trends and adjust treatment plans proactively

How RPM Works at Metro Medical Associates

  1. Assessment & Enrollment
     Your provider evaluates whether RPM is right for your condition—such as hypertension, diabetes, heart failure, COPD, or post‑hospital recovery—and enrolls you in our program.
  2. Setup & Education
     We supply the necessary equipment (e.g., blood pressure cuff, glucose meter, pulse oximeter, smart scale) and guide you through easy setup—no tech skills required.
  3. Daily Monitoring
     Take readings at home as directed. Devices automatically transmit data to our secure platform for real-time tracking.
  4. Clinical Oversight & Intervention
     Our care team reviews your readings, identifies trends, and, alongside telehealth visits, makes timely adjustments to your treatment.
  5. Ongoing Support
    We contact you for abnormal values or any noted trends, offer reminders, and provide lifestyle coaching to help manage your health.
