Today’s healthcare system is increasingly focused on managing the escalating prevalence of chronic disease. Often described as a “sick” care approach, conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and respiratory disorders are not just statistical concerns—they represent significant challenges for millions of individuals. For instance, the American Heart Association notes that cardiovascular disease accounts for 836,546 deaths in the US annually, approximately one in every three deaths. Furthermore, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC highlights that over 16 million Americans suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
The economic impact is equally daunting. Chronic diseases are responsible for 90% of the nation’s annual healthcare expenditures, highlighting the need for practical, scalable, and sustainable interventions.
Embracing Digital Solutions: Remote Patient Monitoring
Addressing these complex issues requires a shift from temporary fixes to comprehensive, long-term strategies. Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) plays a crucial role in this transformation. With Zyter|TruCare Virtual Health, RPM leverages technology to bridge communication gaps and enable timely interventions. Research from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality suggests that RPM can reduce hospitalizations, emergency room visits, and the number of days patients spend in bed. This approach makes continuous patient assessment viable, overcoming barriers such as distance and accessibility, and offering new possibilities for managing healthcare challenges.
