Integrating remote monitoring devices into healthcare has allowed physicians to access patient vital sign data in real-time. If you are part of a remote patient monitoring (RPM) company, do you know all the benefits of using a cellular gateway to connect all your Bluetooth remote patient devices? With an RPM Cellular Gateway, you can connect virtually to any RPM device seamlessly. The Tenovi Cellular Gateway gives unprecedented choice and flexibility in devices to chronic care, telehealth, and RPM software and service providers.
This article explores cellular gateway technology and how it empowers connectivity and choice for remote monitoring service organizations.
What is a Cellular Gateway for Remote Monitoring Devices?
A cellular IoT gateway is a remote monitoring device that combines cellular and Bluetooth connectivity. The centralized hub collects and transmits health data from various medical remote monitoring devices to remote monitoring platforms. For example, physicians can connect multiple remote monitoring devices like blood pressure monitors, blood glucose meters, pulse oximeters, scales, thermometers, peak flow meters, even a smart watch for activity tracking. Additionally, the Tenovi Pillbox connects to the Tenovi Gateway for therapeutic monitoring and medication adherence tracking.
A cellular gateway transmits real-time vital sign data to an RPM dashboard. This is where a qualified healthcare professionals can view patient readings to proactively manage patients’ chronic or health conditions. Efficient and accurate data transfer means a physician can quickly adjust treatment plans based on the patient’s vital sign data.
In addition, alerts can be set if a patient’s readings are outside a set threshold. With the Tenovi Gateway, healthcare organizations can integrate Tenovi or Tenovi partner remote monitoring devices, which arrive pre-paired and ready for immediate patient use.
What Technology Powers a Cellular Gateway?
Connectivity is key in the fast-paced world of healthcare. LTE-M technology ensures remote monitoring devices remain connected to a gateway for an unmatched user experience. This technology offers convenience and robust connectivity. As a result, qualified healthcare professionals gain real-time access to accurate patient health data.
The Tenovi Cellular Gateway offers several advantages for patients, especially those who may not be tech-savvy, have restricted WiFi access, or limited smartphone availability. In addition, with round-the-clock monitoring capabilities, healthcare providers and patients obtain a holistic view of vital statistics, ensuring proactive and personalized care.
Benefits of the Tenovi Cellular Gateway
The Tenovi cellular gateway is the beating heart for remote patient monitoring programs. It merges the power of Bluetooth and cellular connectivity. As a result, real-time, secure transmission of patient health data to healthcare providers is seamless, enabling proactive management of chronic conditions and precise adjustments to treatment plans. Some key features and functionalities of the Tenovi cellular Gateway are as follows.
Tenovi Cellular Gateway: Increased Patient Adherence
In a study published in Telemedicine and e-Health, higher patient activation and engagement with remote monitoring devices has improved glycemic control. In addition, patients who uploaded biometric data at least once per day had lower chances of having HbA1c levels of over 9% compared to those who uploaded data every two days or less.
The Tenovi platform increases the number of patients eligible for Medicare CPT 99454 reimbursement by 27% compared to leading cellular RPM devices. The cellular IoT gateway’s light turns green when the reading is successfully transmitted. The green light provides a simple visual indication of completion. Then, the cellular IoT gateway’s light turns red every morning to remind patients it’s time to take a measurement. These clear visual cues help seniors adhere to their monitoring schedule more effectively. In addition, providers can set up alert notifications to provide added visual and auditory reminders to the patient.
Remote Monitoring Devices and Data Aggregation
Tenovi cellular IoT gateway connectivity transmits accurate physiological readings securely and efficiently to healthcare providers for real-time access in the Tenovi dashboard or the provider’s remote monitoring platform. The cellular IoT gateway collects and performs data aggregation from various Bluetooth remote monitoring devices and wearables like the Tenovi Smart Watch, consolidating data in a unified format. In seconds, the Tenovi Gateway seamlessly sends data to the Tenovi Cloud.
Providers can view patient data in the HIPAA-compliant Tenovi RPM dashboard or their own software platform, through API calls. Tenovi offers over 30 RPM device options, partnering with A&D Medical, OMRON, Trividia Health, and other connected health device companies to give our clients flexibility and choice.
Easy-to-use Remote Monitoring Devices
The simplicity of Tenovi devices is unprecedented, as no syncing or app is needed. Instead, patients simply plug the Tenovi Cellular Gateway into a power outlet one time. It automatically finds the closest cellular network and sends data from any device in a patient’s RPM kit. Setup is a breeze for patients because the devices are built for convenience and ease of use.
By harnessing the power of the Tenovi Cellular Gateway, healthcare organizations can simplify and streamline their workflows, enhance patient engagement, and elevate the quality of care they provide. In addition, Tenovi offers cellular-enabled RPM devices.
