Abstract
Due to the aging American population, healthcare patients and providers are seeking new solutions to lower costs. Today’s patients, including those with chronic maladies, have taken on the role of the consumer who looks for affordable prices for their healthcare. This has created new opportunities for chronic health care management, such as remote health monitoring for home use.Non-face-to-face services, such as medication reconciliation, provider coordination, social services, and remote patient monitoring, is available to beneficiaries of Medicare for significant chronic health conditions. However, payments are not sufficient to pay for staffing and technological investments that are a necessity for chronic care management, so providers normally do not provide such services (PYA, 2015). This results in patients with chronic diseases having to fend for themselves between necessitated care, which translates into distressed patients and higher costs. Remote Health monitoring from the home can alleviate costs and eliminate trips to the doctor or hospital.
