Digital health solutions focusing on remote patient monitoring yield large economic benefits, and multiple studies have shown digital RPM reduces costs imposed on both patients and healthcare providers.
“Furthermore, digital health solutions focusing on RPM yield large economic benefits; multiple studies have shown digital RPM reduces costs imposed on both patients and healthcare providers.”
From A prospective observational real world feasibility study assessing the role of app-based remote patient monitoring in reducing primary care clinician workload during the COVID pandemic (2021) · cites this paper as [14]
The COST-SAVING BENEFITS section describes potential time and cost savings for patients and broader economic benefits from virtual GP consultations. It does not establish those benefits for remote patient monitoring or cite multiple studies showing savings for both parties; instead, it says preliminary data suggest virtual consultations may cost the NHS more than face-to-face visits (£724 versus £625 per patient).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
