Remote Patient Monitoring

What are remote patient monitoring services?

Remote patient monitoring services at Calvary Medical Clinic use technology that allows your provider to monitor your overall health and disease indicators, such as:

• Blood pressure
• Heart rate
• Blood glucose
• Oxygen saturation levels 
• Body weight

With remote patient monitoring services, your provider can assess disease risk factors, or how well you manage your disease. This allows them to add treatments or make changes to your treatment regimen as needed to maximize your health. 

Why might I need remote patient monitoring services?

You can benefit from remote patient monitoring if you have one or more of the following conditions:

• High blood pressure
• Low blood pressure
• Diabetes
• CHF
• COPD/Emphysema
• Pulse irregularities
• Overweight/Obesity

Routine monitoring of these and other chronic conditions is the best way to treat them and reduce your risk of complications.

What happens during remote patient monitoring?

At no out-of-pocket cost to you, Calvary Medical Clinic offers Bluetooth-capable blood pressure cuffs, glucometers, pulse oximeter devices, and scales. These smart devices offer direct communication with your provider, so they can evaluate your readings within minutes, day or night.

To ensure optimal accuracy, your Calvary Medical Clinic specialist gives you instructions on how to use each device properly at home. You might speak with them virtually once weekly, once every two weeks, monthly, or every few months. You can call the Calvary Medical Clinic office any time you have questions or concerns about your health.

What should I expect during my initial appointment?

If you’re a new patient, schedule an initial in-person visit with the Calvary Medical Clinic team, where they complete a comprehensive health assessment. This includes a vital signs check, medical history review, and physical examination.

Your provider discusses past diagnoses, medications you might take, symptoms you may have, and your family history of disease.

Your provider may recommend you complete some labs or diagnostic testing to detect or identify medical problems or to help you properly manage a particular disease or condition. A specialized technician will show you how to easily use remote patient monitoring devices. The office staff will let you know when to schedule your next in-person or virtual visit with your provider.
