Accessible Remote Care Management (ARCM) app for patients is a PRIVATE (Requires Username and Password to access) mobile application designed to empower individuals to actively participate in managing their own health from the comfort of their homes or other remote locations. This app serves as a crucial link between patients and their healthcare providers, facilitating the continuous collection and transmission of vital health data.

How Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) Works for Patients:

1.Device Connection: Patients typically use medical devices equipped with cellular chips such as:

-Blood pressure cuffs: To monitor hypertension.

-Glucose meters: For diabetes management.

-Pulse oximeters: To measure blood oxygen levels.

-Smart scales: To track weight for conditions like heart failure.

-Wearable sensors: For heart rate, activity levels, and sleep patterns.

-Thermometers: For fever monitoring.

2.Data Collection & Transmission:

-The patient takes their readings using the connected device.

-The app then securely transmits this information to our 24/7 HealthVitals, a cloud-based platform accessible by your healthcare team.

3.Personalized Feedback & Education:

- RPM app provides patients with immediate visual feedback on their readings, often displaying trends over time through graphs and charts.

4.Communication with Care Team:
