Remote monitoring (RM) is a type of telehealth where health care is delivered to patients outside traditional settings by allowing health data to be exchanged between patients and health care providers using telecommunication technologies or stand-alone devices.

It has been noted that implementation of RM technologies in Canada is not a question of if it will happen, but rather when and how it will happen. Jurisdictions are faced with the challenge of how best to implement RM programs for patients living in rural, remote, and urban settings.

This page features CADTH's Health Technology Review on the topic as well as Appropriate Use Recommendations, an In Brief, and a Summary Tool.
