Integrating biomedical engineering with open-source telehealth platforms: Enhancing remote patient monitoring in global healthcare systems

This review paper explores the integration of biomedical engineering with open-source telehealth platforms to enhance remote patient monitoring (RPM) in global healthcare systems. It examines the technical strategies for integrating biomedical sensors and devices with telehealth platforms, emphasizing the importance of data interoperability, security, and cloud-native architecture. The paper also discusses the potential for expanding RPM in underserved regions and the role of international collaboration in advancing open-source telehealth solutions. Emerging biomedical engineering and telehealth integration trends, such as artificial intelligence, wearable devices, and predictive analytics, are highlighted. The paper concludes by considering the global implications of these technologies, particularly their potential to improve healthcare accessibility and patient outcomes in diverse healthcare settings.
