More and more healthcare use cases demonstrate the promise of distant patient monitoring, which has the greatest potential for improving overall health, managing chronic conditions, and promoting health equity. Oren Nissim is the CEO and director of Brook Health, a maintenance management company that provides home care using artificial intelligence and healthcare. He anticipates significant items for RPM in 2025, helping in a variety of crucial locations for individuals who live there. He and I spoke about the future changes he sees coming in. Q. You foresee significant changes in this year’s congestive heart failure and distant patient monitoring. What do you see happening? A. As healthcare organizations realize that conventional acute care models can’t efficiently manage the growing Franc population, 2025 will change the management of congestive heart failure. Beyond merely essential mark tracking, remote person monitoring may develop into a sophisticated early warning system that combines AI-driven pattern recognition with real-time physiological data to identify subtle signs of deterioration days before serious symptoms start to show. A new normal of strategic CHF management will be created as a result of the inclusion of AI-powered surveillance with human care teams. Healthcare organizations may implement advanced triage procedures that provide patients with personal guidance for day-to-day self-management while mechanically escalating patterns to medical teams. This mixture will significantly lower emergency departments ‘ workload while enhancing patient outcomes. The ability to bring specific Swiss expertise into every hospital’s home will have the biggest impact. Cardiologists can use distant individual monitoring devices to expand their scope beyond geographical boundaries, provide expert advice to neighborhood care teams, and ensure that every CHF patient has access to specialist-level treatment, regardless of location. Q. Function with GLP-1 medication, the drugs used to manage diabetes and weight loss, is another area of RPM that you anticipate seeing considerable activity. How will these two elements of maintenance combination together? A. As medical organizations struggle to support unprecedented numbers of patients on these revolutionary medications, 2025 will mark a crucial crossing between the GLP-1 revolution and distant patient monitoring. The ability to manage medications more precisely and intervene sooner will be gained from the combination of GLP-1s ‘ potent effects on a variety of chronic conditions and ongoing remote monitoring. Health care providers will create powerful remote individual checking protocols specifically designed for GLP-1 patients, tracking both fat and vital signs, treatment adherence, side effects, and effects across a range of conditions, including diabetes, heart failure, and obesity. This thorough monitoring will help health teams determine the best dosage, handle side effects, and ensure that patients receive the most value from these pricey medications. The use of remote patient monitoring and GLP-1 therapy may provide unmatched insight into these medications ‘ real-world effects on the development of chronic illness. This information will help healthcare organizations recognize the individuals who are most likely to benefit from GLP-1s, as well as build more efficient protocols for managing multiple severe conditions at once. Q. Health ownership is a great, big issue in healthcare today. What do you think has changed this time? A. By bringing high-quality chronic disease control into underserved neighborhoods, 2025 may reveal distant care’s greater potential to target long-standing medical disparities. To overcome the speech, health literacy, and trust barriers that have previously limited telehealth adoption in vulnerable populations, health care organizations will produce culturally competent distant care programs that combine RPM technology with human support. The most effective initiatives will go beyond standard medical monitoring to address social determinants of health, involving community health workers in distant care teams, and connecting patients with nearby food, transportation, and social support resources. This comprehensive method will show that technology can bridge traditional gaps in care access and excellent when used in a human way. The impact on health collateral will be most acute in underserved rural and urban areas, where rural care will help local primary care providers to provide specialist-level support for complex chronic conditions. These initiatives will help close long-standing gaps in severe disease outcomes by providing expert guidance and ongoing monitoring to communities that have previously had limited access to specialty care.
