Remote Patient Monitoring

Remote Patient Monitoring includes the collection of clinical data and the transmission of this data between a patient at a distant location and a health care provider using remote patient monitoring equipment, e.g., Bluetooth-enabled glucometer, blood pressure cuff, scale, pulse oximeter.

Monitoring your blood glucose is important in managing diabetes. If you're having trouble managing your treatment, we offer remote patient monitoring to help you stay healthy. Remote patient monitoring is available at no charge to eligible patients.

Talk to your health care provider about whether remote patient monitoring is right for you.
