Remote Patient Monitoring System for Polypathological Older Adults at High Risk for Hospitalization: Retrospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Health care systems are increasingly facing challenges posed by the aging of populations. In particular, hospitalization, both initial and subsequent, is often observed among older adult patients. However, research suggests that nearly 23% of all hospitalizations could be avoided. In this perspective, remote patient monitoring (RPM) systems are emerging as a promising solution, enabling professionals to detect and manage patient complexities early within home-based care settings.

Objective

This study aims to provide additional analyses regarding the impact of the EPOCA RPM system for polypathological older adult patients on the total number of unplanned hospitalization days and admissions, as well as emergency department (ED) visits. In a prior study, we evaluated
