Remote Patient Monitoring: Unlocking Prevention-First Care
The NHS's 10-Year Health Plan aims to shift from hospital to home, analogue to digital, and cure to prevention.
According to Jonathan Lewis of Luscii, achieving this goal requires moving beyond retrospective data and building a live infrastructure to help clinicians act early.
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) sits at the centre of that, representing a missing data set that can make prevention-first, population-scale care possible.
In acute care, clinicians would not act on month-old vital signs, yet the NHS still relies on lagging information to plan services and allocate resources.
Integrating live patient data into shared care and population health could unlock prevention-first care at scale.
