Why remote weight monitoring?
Remote weight monitoring empowers patients to achieve their weight loss goals with support and oversight from a healthcare professional. A connected, digital weight scale ensures real time, accurate measurements are delivered to care providers. These readings can be an essential part of monitoring and treating obesity, diabetes, heart failure, and a host of other chronic conditions.
Continuous remote monitoring can help care providers assess trends and measure success for patients following bariatric surgery. Connected weight scales can help quickly diagnose congestive heart failure complications, like fluid retention.
Remote weight monitoring can also be used in conjunction with GLP-1 therapies. GLP-1 therapies have shown great results in treating weight related health conditions, but need to be closely monitored to ensure appropriate dosing. A remote patient monitoring scale can be an easy way for patients and providers to monitor dosing without the need for in-office visits.
When incorporated into patient care, remote weight monitoring is a critical part of long-term success for patients on a weight-related treatment plan. Overall, connected weight scales help to identify patient issues and prevent adverse events through timely interventions.
