Who We Build RPM Software
1. Health Systems and Hospital Networks
Health systems launching or scaling remote patient monitoring programs need software that reduces readmissions and manages chronic conditions. They also need to capture reimbursement under CPT codes 99453-99458 and 98975.
We build RPM platforms that integrate with your existing EHR systems and clinical workflows. Care teams can monitor patients without changing how they already work.
2. Digital Health Startups
Startups need to move from idea to MVP without costly rework. We bake compliance rules (HIPAA, GDPR, SaMD) into the architecture from day one. You get a market-ready remote patient monitoring platform that meets regulatory needs before your first user signs up.
3. Medical Device and Medtech Companies
Device companies need software that turns hardware into a full product ecosystem. We develop companion mobile apps, cloud platforms, and clinical portals for your devices. You focus on building and getting devices approved. We handle the software side.
4. Payers and Health Plans
Health plans need better population health insights and stronger member engagement. We build platforms that use remote monitoring data to stratify risk levels, identify care gaps, and track outcomes across patient populations.
Key Features of Remote Patient Monitoring Software
Patient-Facing Mobile Apps
An RPM mobile app allows patients to log vital signs (blood pressure, glucose, SpO2, weight), track symptoms, receive medication reminders, and communicate with their care team through secure messaging. Most RPM apps are built for iOS and Android using cross-platform frameworks. They include offline data sync for areas with weak connectivity.
We build these apps with accessibility in mind and test them with real patients and clinicians. The goal is sustained patient engagement, not just downloads
Clinical Dashboards and Provider Portals
A clinical dashboard aggregates patient data from many devices into a single view. Care teams can check patients in real time. Key features include configurable alert thresholds, trend visualization, population-level risk scores, and task-based workflows. These help providers decide which patients need attention first.
We design these dashboards for clinical efficiency: fewer clicks, clear data hierarchy, and role-based views for nurses, physicians, and care coordinators.
Wearable and IoT Medical Device Integration
RPM platforms connect to a range of medical devices:
- Blood pressure monitors
- Glucometers
- Pulse oximeters
- Weight scales
- Wearable sensors
Common integration methods include Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), cloud-to-cloud APIs, Apple HealthKit, and Google Health Connect. The goal is continuous, accurate data collection without requiring patients to enter data manually.
We handle the real-world challenges of device integration: connectivity drops, data format issues, device firmware variability, and multi-vendor support.
Data Pipeline and Analytics Engine
An RPM data pipeline ingests, cleans, normalizes, and processes health data from multiple sources in real time. These pipelines are built to FHIR standards and power downstream analytics.
This ranges from individual patient risk alerts to population-level health trends. A well-built data pipeline is what separates an RPM tool from a clinically useful RPM platform.
EHR and EMR Interoperability
RPM platforms must exchange data with electronic health record systems to be clinically useful. We integrate with major EHR systems, including Epic, Cerner, and athenahealth, using HL7 FHIR and HL7 v2 standards.
Patient data flows into existing clinical workflows. Providers see RPM data inside the systems they already use, not in a separate portal.
Telehealth and Communication Modules
RPM platforms often include video consultations, secure messaging, and asynchronous communication tools. We build these modules to be fully compliant (HIPAA-encrypted, audit-logged) and integrated with the rest of the platform. A provider can review a patient's vitals and start a video call from the same screen.

AI and Machine Learning in Remote Patient MonitoringÂ
Predictive Analytics And Early Warning
Machine learning models trained on historical patient data can predict adverse events: hospital readmissions, acute exacerbations, or medication non-adherence. These models can flag risks days before they happen. This gives care teams time to intervene proactively.
Anomaly Detection
AI algorithms can identify unusual patterns in patient vitals that rule-based systems miss. For example, a gradual decline in SpO2 combined with reduced activity levels and increased heart rate might not trigger any single-threshold alert. But an ML model can flag the combination as clinically significant.
Clinical NLP And Automated Documentation
Natural language processing can extract structured data from clinician notes, patient messages, and telehealth transcripts. This reduces manual data entry and improves the completeness of patient records.
Risk Stratification At Scale
For health plans and large health systems, ML models can stratify entire patient populations by risk level. Care teams can then allocate resources where they have the greatest impact.

Our Insights
FAQs
What is remote patient monitoring software?
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) software is a digital health platform that collects vital signs and health data from medical devices or mobile apps outside a clinical setting. The software transmits that data securely to healthcare providers and supports real-time monitoring, automated alerts, and clinical decision support.
Most RPM platforms include patient apps, provider dashboards, device integrations, and data analytics. In the US, RPM services can be billed under CPT codes 99453–99458.Â
How long does it take to build an RPM platform?
Timelines depend on scope. An MVP with a basic app and 1–2 device integrations takes approximately 4–6 months. A full platform with multi-device support, EHR integration, and multi-market compliance typically takes 9–18 months. The Discovery phase (2–4 weeks) defines a detailed roadmap and delivery milestones.
How much does RPM software development cost?
The cost ranges from $50,000 for a basic MVP (patient app + 1–2 devices) to $500,000+ for a full enterprise platform with AI analytics, multi-tenant architecture, and multi-country compliance. Key cost drivers include the number of device integrations, EHR integration depth, compliance scope, and whether AI/ML capabilities are required. We provide a detailed cost estimate during a 2–4 week Discovery phase.
What medical devices integrate with RPM software?
RPM platforms commonly integrate with blood pressure monitors, glucometers, pulse oximeters, weight scales, thermometers, ECG/EKG monitors, and wearable activity trackers. Integration methods include Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for direct device pairing, cloud-to-cloud APIs for manufacturer platforms, and health data aggregators like Apple HealthKit and Google Health Connect.
Is remote patient monitoring covered by Medicare?
Yes. Medicare reimburses RPM services under several CPT codes: 99453 (initial device setup and patient education), 99454 (device supply and daily data transmission), 99457 (first 20 minutes of clinical staff time per month), and 99458 (additional 20 minutes). There are also codes for remote therapeutic monitoring (98975–98981). Reimbursement rates vary and are updated annually by CMS. Your billing team should verify current rates and eligibility criteria.
What is the difference between RPM and telehealth?
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) focuses on the continuous or periodic collection of patient health data from devices outside a clinical setting. This includes blood pressure, glucose, SpO2, weight, and other vitals. Telehealth is broader. It refers to any healthcare service delivered remotely, including video consultations, secure messaging, and remote clinical evaluations. RPM is often a component within a larger telehealth platform. Many RPM platforms include telehealth features like video calls and messaging.
How does AI improve remote patient monitoring?
AI enhances RPM in several ways:
- Machine learning models can predict adverse events (hospital readmissions, acute exacerbations) by analyzing patterns across multiple vital signs
- Anomaly detection algorithms flag unusual data combinations that rule-based alerts miss
- Natural language processing automates clinical documentation from patient messages and telehealth transcripts
- Risk stratification models help large health systems prioritize patients who need immediate attention
Do you build RPM software that qualifies as a Software as a Medical Device (SaMD)?
Yes. We support development of Software as a Medical Device aligned with FDA, EU MDR, and TGA requirements. We follow IEC 62304 for software lifecycle management, ISO 14971 for risk management, and IEC 62366 for usability engineering. We handle technical documentation and validation. Your regulatory team typically manages the submission process.
Can you integrate RPM software with our existing EHR system?
Yes, EHR integration is one of our core strengths. We support FHIR-based integration for modern systems and HL7 v2 for legacy systems. During Discovery, we review your EHR setup, APIs, and data mapping to determine the best integration path. We have experience integrating with Epic, Cerner, and athenahealth.
