Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) FAQs

What conditions can be monitored with RTM?

Remote Therapeutic Monitoring can be used for a wide range of non-physiological conditions, including:

• Musculoskeletal conditions (joint pain, back pain, arthritis)
• Respiratory conditions (asthma, COPD)
• Medication adherence for any condition
• Therapy adherence (physical therapy, occupational therapy)
• Pain management
• Neurological conditions
• Mental health conditions

How does RTM differ from RPM?

While both RTM and RPM involve remote monitoring, they differ in key ways:

• RTM: Focuses on non-physiological data like medication adherence, therapy response, and patient-reported outcomes
• RPM: Focuses on physiological data like blood pressure, weight, blood glucose, etc.
• RTM: Can be ordered and billed by a wider range of providers, including physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists
• RPM: Typically ordered and billed by physicians and qualified healthcare professionals
