The Impact of Remote Patient Monitoring Technology on Telehealth and Care Delivery
Ruth Phillips and Matt Ream, Vice President of Medical Affairs and Executive Vice President of Marketing and Innovation at Blue Spark Technologies respectively, discuss the proliferation of remote patient monitoring technology in terms of its impact on telehealth and care delivery. They explain how it can reduce human error and improve patient outcomes by detecting fever earlier, as well as providing cost savings by eliminating the need for staff to manually take vital signs. Additionally, they discuss how it can relieve staff pressures due to the current workforce issues.
The Benefits of Temptraq
Temptraq was shown to detect fevers far earlier than the standard of care. In a clinical study at Sideman Cancer Center, it was able to determine that there was a first onset of neutropenic fever over 11 hours earlier than the standard of care. This can have immense benefits for patients in terms of early detection and treatment of infections or illnesses. Temptraq can also help healthcare systems with economic outcomes by enabling patients to receive treatments in the outpatient setting, which can result in significant savings for the hospital system.
Conclusion
Continuous vital sign monitoring through technology like Temptraq can lead to better patient care and outcomes. It can help detect fevers earlier, reduce human error, and provide cost savings for healthcare systems. As remote patient monitoring technology continues to proliferate, it is important for healthcare providers to consider its potential benefits for patients and the healthcare system.
