- Daily weight monitoring for fluid overload detection
- Threshold alerts for weight gain > 2 lbs/day or BP > 160/100
- Glucose monitoring for diabetic nephropathy patients
Key Monitoring Metrics
| Metric | Clinical Significance |
|---|---|
| Blood pressure | Tracked and trended for nephrology management |
| Daily weight (fluid balance) | Tracked and trended for nephrology management |
| Blood glucose (for diabetic nephropathy) | Tracked and trended for nephrology management |
| SpO2 | Tracked and trended for nephrology management |
| Heart rate | Tracked and trended for nephrology management |
Therapeutic Outcome Measures
| Outcome | Use Case | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Pain Assessment | Post-surgical, chronic pain | Visual analog scale, tracked daily for trending |
| Range of Motion | Joint replacement, MSK rehab | Goniometer readings for joint mobility tracking |
| Functional Status | ADL improvement tracking | Standardized assessments of daily living activities |
| Respiratory Function | COPD, asthma management | Peak flow, inhaler usage, symptom scoring |
| Medication Adherence | Therapy compliance | Self-reported adherence with automated reminders |
Relevant ICD-10 Codes
- N18.x (Chronic kidney disease)
- N04 (Nephrotic syndrome)
- I12.x (Hypertensive CKD)
- E11.22 (T2DM with diabetic CKD)
Clinical Evidence
RPM-based blood pressure management in CKD patients has demonstrated slower disease progression and reduced cardiovascular events by 15-25%.
