What is RPM?

The senior population is growing at five times the rate of the rest of us.  There are hundreds of cool new technologies to help them be Safe, Healthy, and Connected in their homes as they age. BlueStar provides a full suite of aging at-home solutions to help our beloved seniors stay in their homes, free and independent.  And now, those at-home solutions include remote patient monitoring, or RPM.

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is a technology to enable monitoring of patients outside of conventional clinical settings, such as in the home or in a remote area, which may increase access to care and decrease healthcare delivery costs.

Incorporating RPM in chronic-disease management may significantly improve an individual’s quality of life, by allowing patients to maintain independence, prevent complications, and to minimize personal costs. RPM facilitates these goals by delivering care through telecommunications. This form of patient monitoring can be particularly important when patients are managing complex self-care processes such as home hemodialysis. Key features of RPM, like remote monitoring and trend analysis of physiological parameters, enable early detection of deterioration; thereby reducing emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and the duration of hospital stays.

 

HERE’S HOW RPM WORKS FOR THE PATIENT:

 

DOCTOR PRESCRIPTION

The doctor will review your health and decide if RPM is right for you.  If so, the clinical staff will order the service.

NURSE MONITORING

Nursing staff will review the data daily, and engage with the patient to follow up. 

DOCTOR INTERACTION AS NEEDED

If the daily monitoring detects any issues, the nurse will inform the doctor for action and followup.

How Bluestar is looking to help seniors with RPM:

Seniors are living longer. We want to make their golden years more golden.

With BlueStar, you never need to worry that you or a loved one are unsafe or need help. Our top-rated monitoring center operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in order to provide the highest level of safety. Whether it is a push of a button or an automated detection, our monitoring delivers help when it is needed.  In addition to these family-oriented products, we offer clinical remote patient monitoring, which is explained in more detail below.

We now focus on a particular form of senior technology in the home:  Remote Patient Monitoring, or RPM.  We provide hardware and software in a senior’s home to measure health parameters to manage chronic conditions.   We can also monitor for Covid, and our nurse’s interaction with at-home clients helps minimize social isolation.

We provide our remote patient monitoring under the brand name BlueStar Telehealth.  For more info, see BlueStar Telehealth.

Now we’re growing faster than ever. And adding more value. 

Our goal: to grow to serve 100,000 American families with seniors– to keep them Safe, Healthy, and Connected.  Seniors like your Mom and Dad, and ours.  After all, next to taking care of newborn children, what could be more important than taking care of our elderly Moms and Dads?
