The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of remote patient monitoring technology. However, the current model of episodic care does not facilitate the transformation to continuous connected care augmented by remote monitoring technology. This article presents a solution that optimizes the interaction between automated technologies and human oversight, allowing for the maximal use of data-rich tools while preserving the human aspects of medical care.
The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of remote patient monitoring technology, which offers exciting opportunities for expanded connected care at a distance. However, while the mode of clinicians??? interactions with patients and their health data has transformed, the larger framework of how we deliver care is still driven by a model of episodic care that does not facilitate this new frontier. Fully realizing a transformation to a system of continuous connected care augmented by remote monitoring technology will require a shift in clinicians??? and health systems??? approach to care delivery technology and its associated data volume and complexity. In this article, we present a solution that organizes and optimizes the interaction of automated technologies with human oversight, allowing for the maximal use of data-rich tools while preserving the pieces of medical care considered uniquely human. We review implications of this ???augmented continuous connected care??? model of remote patient monitoring for clinical practice and offer human-centered design-informed next steps to encourage innovation around these important issues.
