About us
Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) is a telehealth service that lets healthcare providers and physicians gather health data about their patients using mobile devices. RPM uses various wearable devices and trackers, such as the SmartHub, that collect specific data on the patient’s health. This recorded data is sent to these healthcare providers and physicians where they can view and save the data.
This system allows us to monitor your readings and track the effectiveness of your medications. Patients appreciate the ongoing support and personal connection with our nurse coaches, who work with the same individuals each month, building a deeper understanding of their needs.
Remote Patient Diagnostics enables personalized, one-on-one care by allowing healthcare providers to monitor patients' health from home, offering timely interventions when needed. This reduces the need for frequent hospital visits and admissions, helping hospitals lower the demand for inpatient beds while improving patient outcomes and overall care efficiency.

Benefits of using RPM
Remote patient monitoring allows healthcare providers to monitor patients remotely, ensuring that they receive timely care and treatment. This can improve patient outcomes and reduce the risk of complications.
Improved management of acute and chronic conditions.
Reduced hospitalizations and readmissions.
Reduced hospital lengths of stays.
Lowered overall healthcare costs.
Increased patient adherence and engagement.
Better health outcomes for patients in rural areas.
RPM enables older at-risk individuals to remain at home longer and delay or avoid moving into skilled nursing facilities.
RPM helps reduce the risk of infectious disease exposure such as COVID-19 for patients, providers, and healthcare workers.
Our Devices
There are several types of technology that can be used for RPM, including wearable devices, smartphone apps, and telemedicine devices.
HealthyConnect Smart Watch
Patients can view their readings on their HealthyConnect App which contains their customized care plan. Their watch tracks their daily steps, heart rate, temperature, and more.
Your Smart Watch connects to your Smart Hub which streamlines your Patient monitoring efforts and allows you to view your individualized care plan containing your daily tasks and medications.
Patient Data is collected and tracked in accordance with care plans. We can monitor your readings and how your medications are working. HealthyConnect patients genuinely appreciate the "connection" with the practice and knowledge that our nurse coaches work with the same patients every month and get to know them.

HealthyConnect SmartHub
The SmartHub relays the measurements from your devices to your provider. It requires no setup and does not use your home internet connection or WiFi. Just plug it in and wait for the instructions on the screen. You are then ready to start taking measurements with the devices that your provider sent you.
Glucose Monitor
Glucose Monitor
Determines the approximate concentration of glucose in your blood. Lifestyle changes and medication can help keep your glucose level closer- to-normal for as much of the time as possible. This helps to reduce the occurrence rate and severity of complications from hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia.
Pulse Oximeter
Pulse Oximeter
Measures the percentage of oxygen saturation levels in your blood. It helps determine how well your lungs are working.
Scale
Scale
Measures total body mass. Changes in this measurement are indicators for many diseases and conditions.
No Touch Thermometer
No Touch Thermometer
Measures your body temperature. A rise in body temperature is often the first indicator of infection. It can be used to monitor how well treatments or medications are working.
Spirometer
Spirometer
Measures the amount and speed of air that can be inhaled and exhaled. This helps monitor lung conditions like COPD and how well your lungs are responding to any treatment or medications.
Blood Pressure Cuffs
Blood Pressure Cuffs
Measures the force being exerted by your blood against your arteries.
Systolic blood pressure (the top number) is the pressure when your heart is pumping; diastolic pressure (the bottom) is the pressure when your heart is resting between beats. These measurements help determine your risk for heart disease, stroke, and other conditions.
Chronic Care Management
Chronic Care Management (CCM) refers to a coordinated approach to managing chronic health conditions over time. This strategy involves a comprehensive plan that includes regular monitoring, patient education, medication management, and communication between healthcare providers and patients. The goal is to improve health outcomes, enhance the quality of life, and reduce healthcare costs by preventing complications and hospitalizations.
Key components of CCM typically include:
Care Coordination: Involves multiple healthcare providers working together to manage a patient's care.
Patient Engagement: Encouraging patients to take an active role in their own health management.
Regular Monitoring: Ongoing assessment of the patient's condition, including vital signs and lab results.
Personalized Care Plans: Tailoring interventions based on individual patient needs and circumstances.
Education and Support: Providing resources and information to help patients understand their conditions and treatment options.

The SmartHub is a small device that sends your vital signs directly to our office. It is pre-programmed to only scan for the readings of the monitoring equipment included in your healthcare kit. It does not and cannot record anything you say. It will only speak when first plugged in, and when a reading is taken – which is a simple “Thank you for your reading”. This message confirms we have received your reading.
Absolutely not, all the monitoring equipment comes with batteries and are strictly “plug and play”. Just plug in the SmartHub, then take your vitals.
Medicare currently covers 80%, the remaining 20% may be covered by your secondary insurance. Medicare Advantage plans will have a copay ranging from $5 to $25 per month, depending on your specific plan. Commercial plans may have a copay, co-insurance, or deductible.
