What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment Remote Therapeutic Monitoring Exercise Tracking, Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM), Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM), Telehealth Exercise Tracking for Parkinson's Disease and Multiple Sclerosis?
Research shows that remote patient monitoring (RPM) can reliably track physical activity, which helps doctors make better decisions about patient care. This approach is especially useful for people with neurological diseases like Parkinson's and MS, as it allows for continuous monitoring without needing to visit a clinic.12345
Is remote patient monitoring safe for humans?
How does activity monitoring differ from other treatments for Parkinson's Disease and Multiple Sclerosis?
Activity monitoring for Parkinson's Disease and Multiple Sclerosis is unique because it uses wearable technology to remotely track physical activity, allowing for real-world assessment of motor function and disability at home. This approach is particularly beneficial for continuous monitoring without the need for frequent hospital visits, making it a flexible and accessible option compared to traditional in-person assessments.1591011
