Description
The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in overburdened hospitals and patients’ inability to access appropriate healthcare services. In inpatient care, patients are being monitored for extended periods of time, especially in the case of emerging diseases, further straining hospital capacities. According to current literature, Remote Patient Monitoring Systems (RPMS) can help address and reduce this burden. However, in practice, RPMS adoption has been slow. We argue that there exists a lack of transparency in the current RPMS landscape which results in a mismatch between RPMS offerings on the market and users’ need for these systems. Aiming to structure the opaque RPMS market, we develop a taxonomy that describes the characteristics and nuances of RPMS based on 39 existing systems. Drawing on the taxonomy, we derive five archetypes that help both practitioners and scholars to differentiate between system types and thus support future RPMS deployment to improve healthcare accessibility and quality.
