Healthcare beyond Hospitals

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is a technology (read wearable) that facilitate monitoring of patients outside the conventional clinical setup. This will basically help increase the intensity of care and decrease the cost of healthcare delivery. Jack Kreindler, MD is chairman, chief medical officer and co-founder of Sentrian, hopes that this technology will help in hugely cutting down avoidable hospitalization and dealing with the problem of chronic diseases which is a burden on every economy. In his special guest feature in Inside Bigdata, he elaborates on Remote Patient Intelligence (RPI). Till very recently this seemed to be a far dream but it seems to change in the near future. Cheaper wearable/bio sensors, omnipresent smart phones, more connectivity, highly evolved machine learning and big data analytics hold the keys for the realization of this dream.
