Why there’s no ‘one-size-fits-all’ for remote monitoring and patient privacy

Implementing a remote patient monitoring program can be challenging, as different technologies and approaches may work better for different patients. Addressing patient privacy concerns, tailoring discussions, and providing patient education are important considerations. In South Korea, where healthcare is more accessible and less expensive than in the U.S., patients are more accustomed to using remote healthcare services. However, there is a risk of overuse due to cultural differences. Inbox overload is a concern in the U.S., and finding ways to effectively manage patient messages is a problem that needs to be solved. Patient education is key to ensuring devices are used effectively and do not contribute to provider overload.
