A type of TELEMEDICINE in which healthcare providers monitor patients using digital medical devices. Data collected from these devices are then electronically transferred to providers for care management and has been used to measure symptoms of chronic conditions, such as cardiac diseases, diabetes, and asthma. Benefits include patient engagement, patient adherence to their treatment plan, and the ability to expand physician reach and easily provide care to patients without the need for patients in person encounters.
