Title of Talk: "Incorporating Remote Patient Monitoring for Chronic Disease Management: A Hypertension Program at UC Davis Health"
Our remote patient monitoring program for hypertension supports quality improvement and patient-centric care by extending blood pressure management into the home setting under an interdisciplinary team. Using connected blood pressure devices, lifestyle and medication management, standardized monthly visits, and patient education, our RPM program engages patients with near real-time support to control this disease. This preventive medicine approach strengthens clinical care, reduces barriers to access, and advances population health goals by improving blood pressure control which is associated with reduction of long-term cardiovascular risk.
