Digital health tools are growing in popularity—particularly among patients—due to the added to the convenience and effectiveness of a virtual healthcare setting.
For example, the 2021 McKinsey Physician Survey found that 63% of adults are interested in using digital health solutions, including virtual-first health plans. The report indicates patients are especially curious about using virtual solutions to address behavioral health needs. This includes lifestyle choices impacting overall well-being.

With Remote Patient Monitoring Technology, healthcare providers are well-equipped to offer this type of virtual treatment plan to their patients. Research suggests that remote monitoring tools can effectively help manage several types of chronic conditions.
In recent years, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) further reaffirmed the benefits of Remote Patient Monitoring. They recently introduced new billing codes that reimburse providers for these services.
