Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) is reshaping how healthcare providers manage chronic conditions, offering a lifeline for patients struggling with adherence. A recent Tenovi article explains RTM’s role in tracking non-physiological data and its potential to reduce healthcare costs. At MyMovementRx, we’re passionate about harnessing RTM to improve patient outcomes. Let’s explore what RTM is and why it’s a game-changer for chronic care.
What is Remote Therapeutic Monitoring?
RTM involves using digital tools to monitor non-physiological data, such as medication adherence, pain levels, and therapy response, for conditions like asthma, COPD, and musculoskeletal disorders. Unlike Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM), which focuses on vital signs, RTM targets therapeutic progress. The World Health Organization notes that 50% of chronic condition patients don’t adhere to prescribed treatments, leading to worse outcomes and higher costs. RTM addresses this by providing real-time data to clinicians.
Key RTM devices include:
- Tenovi Pillbox: Tracks medication adherence for chronic conditions.
- PatchRx Smart Pill Bottle Cap: Ensures patients take medications as prescribed.
- Adherium Hailie® Sensors: Monitors inhaler use for respiratory conditions.
These devices qualify for Medicare reimbursement under CPT codes 98975–98981, making RTM a viable revenue stream for providers.
How RTM Benefits Chronic Care
RTM offers significant advantages for managing chronic conditions:
- Improved Adherence: Automated tracking encourages patients to follow treatment plans.
- Proactive Interventions: Clinicians can adjust therapies based on real-time data, preventing complications.
- Cost Savings: Better adherence reduces hospitalizations, saving an estimated $1,500 per asthma patient annually, according to Adherium.
