Remote Patient Monitoring makes use of digital technologies to collect relevant health-related data and transmit them to a healthcare provider:
• Allows real-time access to personal data – anytime, anywhere
• Slows disease progression by facilitating faster diagnosis and early detection of deterioration
• Increases medication adherence, treatment efficiency and improves overall patient satisfaction
• Reduces hospitalizations, readmissions and prevents avoidable hospitalizations
• Relevant caregivers are: Clinics (customers) Aging-in-place facilities (elderly people) Hospitals (discharged patients) Operators of Employee Benefits Programs Health Insurance companies

Effect of Real-Time Monitoring and Notification of Smoking Episodes on Smoking Reduction: A Pilot Study of a Novel Smoking Cessation App
Prof. Reuven DarSchool of Psychological SciencesTel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel
Results/Findings – smokers in the experimental condition showed a significant decline in smoking rate over the 30-day trial (p < .001). There was no change in the smoking rate of the control group.Conclusions – These preliminary results suggest that automatic monitoring of smoking episodes and alerting the smoker in real time may facilitate smoking reduction in motivated smokers.
