The potential of remote monitoring and support to reduce demand on health and care services

Remote monitoring supplemented by health coaching improves medication adherence and wellbeing

Research evidence demonstrates that augmenting remote monitoring technology with service support is much more successful in achieving user engagement.

The result is more consistent improvement in clinical disease markers (such as HbA1c for diabetes), reduced exacerbations requiring acute care interventions and hospital admission and a better quality of life for patients.

There is evidence that remote support for patients managing long-term conditions can substantially improve the taking of prescribed medication which helps with such outcomes.
