RPM for Diagnostic Testing
Manage symptoms and track indicators of a broad range of diseases
As part of the continuum of care, the annual cost to the US healthcare system of diagnostic testing for COVID-19 alone is estimated to hit $25.1 billion, with antibody testing expected to reach $19.1 billion, according to data from America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) lobbying group.
Wanda Health RPM for diagnostic testing provides a technologically advanced tool to help manage symptoms and track indicators of a broad range of diseases, including patients exposed to a higher potential of hospital readmission. Rather than allocating resources and clinical time to patients in low-risk categories, service providers can leverage RPM to monitor underlying data and identify when further testing or screening is necessary.

Why RPM for Diagnostic Testing
The core aim of diagnostic screening is to detect risk factors or early signs of disease, particularly in healthy patients with no noticeable symptoms.
RPM presents an excellent solution, where a clinician or physician identifying a risk potentially linked to familial medical histories can introduce RPM to track medical data and signify any emerging signs of early disease.
Patient cohorts with an existing diagnosis and a linked exposure to developing a secondary or subsequent condition may also be enrolled in RPM programs. Rather than waiting for a symptom to arise or for a patient to contact their physician or attend an emergency room, healthcare teams can proactively watch for developing symptoms and provide early diagnoses that deliver significantly improved patient outcomes and chances of successful treatment.
The cost and resource efficiency of RPM makes this service scalable and applicable to large demographics without commanding greater clinician time. Monitoring data can help to raise a concern where measurements are outside of a safe zone, prompting a medical intervention to help catch disease and illness as soon as possible.
In doing so, primary care providers and other healthcare services can reduce the costs of unnecessary diagnostic testing, target screening programs to patients at greatest risk, and improve their responsiveness to developing conditions.
The Benefits of Using RPM for Diagnostic Testing
RPM is not designed or intended to supersede conventional clinical diagnostic testing but is a useful tool that can capture data points and track how these progress, leading to a better diagnostic overview.
For Patients
RPM devices are engineered for at-home use, which can reduce the number of in-person visits a patient needs to attend while improving the accuracy of measurements. Research often shows that patients present with higher blood pressure, for example, in a hospital or clinical setting.
Collecting data over an extended period can help physicians monitor multiple health markers, from blood pressure to respiratory rate and blood glucose levels. This method of patient data analysis ensures that medical professionals can quickly see when measurements are on an upward or downward trajectory and provide a more accurate picture of the whole patient's health status.
Essentially, incorporating RPM programs into diagnostic testing services helps practitioners detect abnormalities, unusual readings, or symptoms of disease far sooner than a notable sign may materialize.
For Healthcare Organizations
RPM can reduce the costs of managing chronic illnesses and provide a body of data physicians use to make informed decisions about the right medications, interventions, and lifestyle recommendations - based on accurate data transmitted by the patient’s RPM device.
Practices and organizations managing patients with chronic disease can reduce the cost of preventive diagnostic testing by prioritizing patients with health data, which indicates a greater risk.
Alongside additional revenues and reductions in service costs, RPM programs can integrate with electronic health records (EHRs). Developing more detailed patient medical files can help to compare and track previous and ongoing diagnostic testing alongside patient measurements to offer more precise and targeted diagnostic testing policies.

Our Devices
We support a wide range of monitoring devices for CHF designed to be non-intrusive and high functioning.
iBlood Remote Pressure Monitor: Diagnostic testing services and healthcare providers assign blood pressure monitors complete with a monitoring device and adjustable cuff to enable patients to track their blood pressure quickly and easily.
iGlucose Blood Sugar Monitor: Clinicians deploy blood glucose monitors to ensure patients can submit glucose readings with a small blood sample to analyze blood sugar and transmit the data to the appropriate practitioner.
iScale RPM Body Scales: Researchers conducting analyses into weight-related health use digital RPM scales to track patient data and assess how behavioral, nutrition, and health factors impact weight.
iPulseOx Remote Oxygen Monitor: Pulse oximeters extract key readings such as oxygen saturation and can be used as a supplementary or initial tool to monitor patients with cardiovascular or respiratory conditions, or at risk of either.
Each RPM device works independently, enabling medical professionals to assign one or several devices to each patient depending on their health and the conditions the clinician wishes to monitor or watch for.
