Remote Monitoring Studies Need to Describe the Clinical Workflow
ABSTRACT:
Study at a glance
- Publication type: Review of remote patient monitoring studies
- What it examined: This review assessed how non-invasive remote patient monitoring studies in heart failure reported their clinical workflows.
- Key point: The authors reviewed studies from 1999 to 2024 and focused on an implementation detail often absent from headline results: how monitoring information is acted on in practice.
Why it matters
Technology alone is not a care pathway. Transparent reporting of staffing, alert handling and escalation helps readers judge whether a programme can be reproduced responsibly.
