Summary
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) uses technology for total joint arthroplasty care. This review covers RPM benefits, methods, and insurance coverage for enhanced postoperative patient management.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Medical Technology
- Digital Health
Background:
- Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) requires effective postoperative monitoring.
- Traditional follow-up methods can be resource-intensive and may delay interventions.
- Advancements in technology offer new avenues for patient assessment and management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the current applications of remote patient monitoring (RPM) in total joint arthroplasty.
- To explore various RPM technologies and their integration into TJA care pathways.
- To discuss the advantages and challenges of RPM for patients and healthcare providers.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review of literature on remote patient monitoring in total joint arthroplasty.
- Analysis of different RPM modalities: telemedicine, patient engagement platforms, wearable devices, and implantable devices.
- Examination of studies focusing on postoperative outcomes and patient experience.
Main Results:
- RPM offers significant benefits for postoperative monitoring in TJA, including early detection of complications and improved patient engagement.
- Various technologies, from simple apps to sophisticated implants, are being utilized.
- Evidence suggests improved patient satisfaction and potential for reduced healthcare costs.
Conclusions:
- Remote patient monitoring is a rapidly evolving and valuable tool in total joint arthroplasty.
- Further research and standardization are needed to optimize RPM implementation and reimbursement.
- RPM has the potential to transform postoperative care in TJA, enhancing patient outcomes and provider efficiency.

872
Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac...

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...
