Remote Therapeutic Monitoring Treatment & Management

Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) is an innovative healthcare service designed to enhance patient outcomes and improve the management of chronic conditions through continuous monitoring and remote care.

​

According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) guidelines, RTM focuses on the use of technology to monitor non-physiological data such as therapy/medication adherence and response, pain levels, and musculoskeletal or respiratory system status.
