Remote patient monitoring (RPM) tech has taken off in recent years as a way for providers to better assess and manage patients’ health remotely.
And increasingly, RPM tech is getting a boost from AI. AI systems and machine learning (ML) algorithms are helping make RPM solutions — like at-home ECG monitoring and remote fall detection — more effective and efficient, thereby improving patient outcomes.
Just 2 years ago, during 2021’s venture funding boom, roughly a quarter of all RPM funding went to companies building AI solutions. This year, in a sign of AI’s growing presence in RPM, AI companies account for three-quarters of funding.
Below, we dig into how AI is transforming the RPM landscape, using CB Insights data like:
