Introduction: Why This Matters

What the Latest Study Reveals

  • Composite cardiovascular health scores (covering BP, cholesterol, A1c, BMI, and smoking status) improved from 4.5 to 5.2 , with two-thirds of that gain driven by better blood pressure control.
  • Patients with high cholesterol saw notable reductions in total cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides.

These Results Align with our Vivo Care Strategy

  1. Team-Centered Coaching
    Multi-disciplinary virtual support echoes our belief in comprehensive, inclusive care, going beyond traditional clinical silos to deliver a seamless patient experience. The Vivo Care offering can include US Based clinical monitoring + Easy to use RPM software working together to support our clinic partners.
  2. Accessible, Patient-Led Monitoring
    By empowering users with home BP devices and virtual touchpoints, we reinforce autonomy and continuity, especially critical for underserved or mobility-limited populations. Vivo Care partners with multiple device manufacturers to bring the latest in FDA registered, compliant devices, to your programs.
  3. Holistic Health Impact
    Improvements in cholesterol and A1c levels demonstrate RPM’s capacity to address multiple risk factors simultaneously, not just blood pressure.
  4. Scalable, Value-Based Model
    While more robust studies are needed, RPM has the potential to reduce in-person visits and healthcare utilization, supporting cost-effective, preventive care models.

Implementation of RPM in your Practice

  • Deploy user-friendly home monitoring devices, or kits (BP cuffs, glucometers, etc.).
  • Establish virtual care teams combining clinical and community health professionals to reinforce engagement and follow-through.
  • Track composite health metrics beyond BP, like lipids and glucose, to demonstrate broader impact.
