Does remote patient monitoring reduce HF-related hospitalizations and mortality in patients with heart failure?
Remote patient monitoring, particularly programs incorporating self-management, education, and video communication, effectively reduces hospitalizations and mortality in heart failure patients.
This meta-analysis confirms the efficacy of RPM in reducing HF-related hospitalizations and mortality. Effective components include self-management, education modules, and video communication. However, heterogeneity among interventions challenges the overall evaluation. Modernizing RPM with advanced technologies like non-invasive sensors, artificial intelligence, and cardiac telerehabilitation could enhance its potential.
