Telemedicine and remote patient monitoring (RPM) solutions
represent a paradigm shift in healthcare delivery, harnessing the power of
digital technologies to improve patient care, enhance accessibility, and reduce
costs. Telemedicine facilitates virtual consultations, digital health
platforms, and real-time diagnostics, allowing healthcare professionals to
interact with patients across geographic barriers. RPM, on the other hand,
enables continuous tracking of patient health metrics such as heart rate, glucose
levels, and blood pressure through wearable and connected devices, promoting
proactive management of chronic diseases and reducing hospital readmissions.
Recent advancements, including artificial intelligence (AI) for predictive
analytics, wearable biosensors, and high-speed 5G networks, have expanded the
scope and efficiency of telemedicine and RPM. These solutions proved invaluable
during the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring continuity of care while minimising
physical contact. However, challenges persist, including concerns around data
security, interoperability, regulatory barriers, and disparities in access to
technology. This review explores the evolution, benefits, and challenges of
telemedicine and RPM, while addressing their potential to transform global
healthcare systems. It highlights key innovations, regulatory considerations,
and the need for equitable access to bridge healthcare gaps. By integrating
these technologies into routine care, the future of telemedicine and RPM holds
the promise of improved patient outcomes, cost efficiencies, and greater
resilience in healthcare systems worldwide.
