Technology is always changing along with the rest of the world. Technology has made tremendous advances in the healthcare sector, notably in caring. Carers can now stay connected to their loved ones from anywhere in the world thanks to Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

RPM is a system that allows healthcare providers to remotely monitor patients’ health using multiple gadgets. These gadgets, which can be worn by patients or implanted in their bodies, provide real-time health data to healthcare providers. RPM has transformed caregiving by allowing healthcare providers to notice and intervene on health issues before they become life-threatening.

AI, on the other hand, has increased the efficiency of caregiving by automating some of the duties that carers formerly performed manually. AI-powered chatbots, for example, may now answer patients’ inquiries and provide drug adherence advice. This frees up carers to focus on other important activities, such as providing emotional support to patients and their families.

But how does RPM and AI assist carers in remaining connected to their loved ones?

Monitoring of Health Data in Real Time

RPM allows carers to check the health of their loved ones in real time. This means they can identify health issues early and intervene before they become life-threatening. For example, if a patient’s blood pressure rises, the healthcare professional will be notified and will be able to take appropriate action. This technology has contributed to fewer hospital readmissions and emergency room visits, which can be upsetting for patients and their families.

Improved Communication

RPM and artificial intelligence have improved communication between carers and their loved ones. RPM devices, for example, can be used to video contact patients, allowing carers to check on their loved ones’ physical appearance and provide emotional support. Chatbots powered by AI can also answer patients’ inquiries and provide medication adherence recommendations, allowing carers to focus on providing emotional support to patients and their families.

Improved Quality of Life

RPM and AI have improved the lives of patients and their families. RPM devices, for example, can be used to monitor chronic illnesses including diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. Patients can avoid unnecessary hospital visits, which can be stressful and time-consuming, by remotely monitoring these conditions. AI-powered chatbots can also provide emotional support to patients, improving their mental health.

Reduced burden of caregiving

RPM and AI have lowered the strain of caregiving by automating some of the chores that carers formerly performed manually. AI-powered chatbots, for example, may now answer patients’ inquiries and provide drug adherence advice. This frees up carers to focus on other important activities, such as providing emotional support to patients and their families.

Finally, RPM and AI have transformed caregiving by allowing healthcare providers to remotely monitor patients’ health and automate some of the duties that carers formerly performed manually. These technologies have also improved communication between carers and their loved ones, as well as patient and family quality of life. As technology advances, it is critical for carers to embrace and exploit these breakthroughs in order to deliver the greatest care possible to their loved ones.
