Remote Patient Monitoring Solutions
Our Docobo Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) solution empowers patients to take an active role in their health, supporting self-care and improving well-being.
When this RPM solution is combined with Graphnet’s population health management software care professionals can identify individuals who will benefit the most from remote patient monitoring, easing the burden on the wider healthcare systems.
What is Remote Patient Monitoring?
Remote patient monitoring – or RPM – means healthcare providers can deliver care outside of clinical settings, enhancing patients' quality of life at home, in care homes, or other preferred locations.
Using RPM not only benefits the patient but can also help reduce the strain on NHS hospital admissions and lengths of stay.

Virtual Wards
One of the central tools to support remote patient monitoring is our Docobo Virtual Ward Solution.
Used widely across the NHS, the virtual ward solution is designed to provide hospital-level care for patients in the comfort of their own homes, easing the strain on the NHS by freeing up hospital beds.
Our DOC@HOME® paediatric virtual wards are one such example. Working to manage the increase of children being admitted into high dependency care, this remote monitoring solution ensures children who have been discharged from hospital are still receiving expert levels of care at home.
Remote Patient Monitoring Device
Working in conjunction with the virtual wards, our Medical Device Regulation-accredited Class 2 device ensures high-standard monitoring for both patients and clinicians.
The device features:
-
Built-in cardiorespiratory tools: Capture and submit ECG and breathing rate data, accessible to clinicians through a portal displaying patient observations and clinical threshold alerts.
-
Easy-to-use settings: Helping to reduce digital inequalities in healthcare, the device is easy to hold and supports those with limited technology experience or dexterity challenges.
-
Patient-centred technology: The device enables patients to share insights on symptoms, pain levels, quality of life, mental health and overall wellbeing.
-
Flexible data submission: The device has options for secure messaging or video conferencing, allowing clinicians to configure questionnaires to individual patient needs.
Paula Love, Lead Nurse for Integrated Care Transformation and Interim Lead for the remote monitoring Virtual Clinical Care Team Hub says: “Through the use of clinical innovation, this device emerged as a powerful tool for community screening in Northamptonshire.
“As a class 2 medical device, it is helping to bridge inequalities in fostering proactive healthcare in the local communities where it is needed most.
“Through this collaboration, the clinical screening team has been able to extend the reach of clinical assessments for Atrial Fibrillation and Hypertension by empowering local community champions to deliver accessible screenings that pave the way for a healthier future.
“This clinical model could significantly contribute to the crucial first line of defence in identifying these critical health issues, allowing for timely interventions that can prevent complications, hospitalisations and improve the overall health and well-being of individuals.”
