Patient Demographics and Clinic Type Are Associated With Patient Engagement Within a Remote Monitoring Program.

ABSTRACT: Background: Remote physiological monitoring (RPM) is accessible, convenient, relatively inexpensive, and can improve clinical outcomes. Yet, it is unclear in which clinical setting or target population RPM is maximally effective. Objective: To determine whether patients' demographic characteristics or clinical settings are associated with data transmission and engagement.
