Blood Pressure Remote Patient Monitoring for Management of Arterial Hypertension
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) and telemedicine have been available for patient care for decades but have taken a more prominent role in patient management since the onset of COVID-19. In addition, recent advances in technology including enhancements in wireless data handling and speed, have improved the availability, affordability, and ease of use of RPM.
RPM involves the collection, transmission, and analysis of physiologic data (e.g., blood pressure, heart rate, heart rhythm) that are used to develop and manage a disease treatment plan. It’s key objectives are to improve outcomes (end-organ damage, health-related quality of life) and reduce the costs of health care. Additionally, RPM aims to empower patients with their own health data with the hopes of increasing adherence, and a patient’s sense of control.
The SphygmoCor® XCEL system utilized dual arterial pressure monitoring that obtains and records brachial BP in addition to measurement of central aortic pressures. From this, it derives a central aortic pressure waveform at the heart. SphygmoCor® XCEL is the only FDA cleared medical device for full arterial waveform features in all adults. Central BP monitoring can now be part of patient care that requires brachial BP RPM for management of hypertension.
