If you have a chronic health condition, you may benefit from remote patient monitoring (RPM). This service takes advantage of technology using mobile medical devices to provide important health data to your providers.
Your RPM team uses this data as part of a holistic health care plan. A care coordinator reviews the information from the mobile devices every day. This way, your providers can intervene as soon as possible if your care requires adjustments.
We also make sure to check in with you regularly to ensure your devices are working properly. And as an RPM patient, you have access to our dedicated RPM phone line, ensuring a faster connection with a care provider.
To learn if you’re a good candidate for RPM, all you need to do is meet with your provider at Prima Medicine, which has locations in Fairfax and South Riding, Virginia. Your provider can assess your condition and talk with you about your goals to ensure you’re right for our program.

Keep in mind that your provider works with you to help remove any technology barriers to using the mobile medical devices needed to monitor your condition. At Prima Medicine, your RPM plan involves regular check-ins, so we can answer any questions you have or help you solve any problems that arise.
