San Francisco (California,US) –Spire Health, the leading provider of respiratory remote patient monitoring(RPM), today announced the peer-reviewed publications of several new clinical case reports which illustrate the real-world impact of how the Spire RPM system supports the early identification and ongoing care and management of patients with chronic and acute pulmonary disease (e.g., COPD and COVID-19, respectively).
“The ways in which RPM has created value at our practice varies,” wrote lead-author and pulmonologist Dr. Michael Polsky of the Pulmonary Associates of Richmond in Virginia. “While initially deployed to improve care of chronic respiratory disease patients, the system has shown promise in the detection of acute infection as well. These cases provide a sampling of the real-world opportunity and impact RPM has for pulmonologists with the goal of avoiding hospitalization.”
