ABSTRACT

Telemedicine and Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) have made substantial progress in recent years, especially during the COVID-19 epidemic, for which they were crucial in sustaining healthcare provision. The present review investigates the progression of telemedicine, technical advancements in remote patient monitoring (RPM), and the obstacles linked to its deployment. Although these technologies have revolutionised patient care by facilitating uninterrupted monitoring and decreasing healthcare expenses, they also pose difficulties such as infrastructure requirements, reimbursement constraints, and ethical concerns. The debate emphasises the need of adopting a strategic strategy that effectively manages the tension between innovation and practical and ethical considerations in order to fully harness the capabilities of telemedicine and remote patient monitoring (RPM).

Keywords: Telemedicine, Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM), Healthcare Innovation, Telehealth, COVID-19.
