Remote Patient Monitoring App Development
PerfectionGeeks builds remote patient monitoring (RPM) apps and platforms for hospitals, clinics, digital health startups and care-at-home providers. We connect blood pressure cuffs, glucose meters, pulse oximeters, scales and wearables to a patient app, a clinician dashboard with alerts, and your EHR, and we build in the time tracking and reports your billing team needs.

RPM vs Telemedicine vs Remote Therapeutic Monitoring
Remote patient monitoring tracks vital signs like blood pressure and glucose through connected devices, telemedicine enables live virtual consultations, and remote therapeutic monitoring follows treatment adherence and recovery progress. We help you choose, or combine, the right model for your care goals and build an app around it.
| Comparison | Remote patient monitoring (RPM) | Remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM) | Telemedicine |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it tracks | Physiological data: blood pressure, glucose, SpO2, weight, heart rate | Therapy data: medication adherence, pain, respiratory or musculoskeletal therapy, CBT | Live consultations |
| Data source | Connected medical devices | Devices or patient-reported data | Video, audio, chat |
| Typical users | Chronic care, post-discharge, cardiology | Physical therapy, respiratory care, behavioural health | All specialties |
| Billing (US) | RPM CPT codes | RTM CPT codes | Telehealth E/M codes |
RPM Programs We Build Software For
We build remote patient monitoring apps for chronic disease management, cardiac and diabetes care, post-surgery recovery, elderly care, and maternal health. Each solution connects with wearables and medical devices, giving providers real-time insights and patients continuous, convenient care.
| Program | What's monitored | Typical devices |
|---|---|---|
| Hypertension | Blood pressure, heart rate | Cellular or Bluetooth BP cuffs |
| Diabetes | Blood glucose, weight, medication | Glucometers, continuous glucose monitors (CGM) |
| Heart failure | Weight, blood pressure, symptoms | Scales, BP cuffs, wearables |
| COPD and respiratory | Oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, inhaler use | Pulse oximeters, smart inhalers, spirometers |
| Post-discharge and post-surgery | Vitals, wound photos, pain scores | Multi-parameter kits, patient-reported surveys |
| Cardiac rhythm | ECG, heart rhythm | Wearable ECG patches, smartwatches |
| Maternal health | Blood pressure, weight, symptoms | BP cuffs, scales, symptom checklists |
| Elderly care and hospital at home | Vitals, falls, activity, medication | Wearables, fall sensors, smart pill boxes |
Core Features of an RPM Platform
Patient App
Simple device pairing and automatic reading upload. Manual entry and symptom check-ins for patients without devices. Medication and reading reminders. Secure messaging and video visits with the care team. Large text, voice prompts and multiple languages for older patients. Caregiver access with patient consent.
Clinician Dashboard
Patient list ranked by risk, with the most urgent at the top. Personal alert thresholds for each patient, set by the clinician. Trend charts and reading history. Care plans, notes and escalation workflows. Automatic time tracking for monitoring and patient contact. Monthly reports showing reading days and management minutes for billing.
Admin and Program Management
Patient enrolment, consent and device assignment. Device inventory, shipping and replacement tracking. Program-level outcomes: adherence, alerts handled, hospital admissions. Role-based access for nurses, doctors, care coordinators and billing staff.
AI Features That Help Clinicians
Alert prioritisation, so nurses see the patients who need them first. Trend detection, flagging gradual deterioration before thresholds are crossed. Summaries of each patient's month for the reviewing clinician. Adherence prediction, to reach patients likely to stop taking readings. AI supports clinical judgement; it doesn't replace it. Features that diagnose or recommend treatment may be regulated as medical device software, so we scope them with your regulatory adviser. See AI solutions for healthcare.

Built for RPM Billing in the US (2026 CPT Codes)
For US providers, an RPM program only pays for itself if the software captures exactly what Medicare and other payers require. Since the 2026 Physician Fee Schedule, providers can also bill for shorter monitoring periods and shorter management time.
| CPT code | What it covers | What the software must record |
|---|---|---|
| 99453 | Initial setup and patient education on the device | Enrolment date, device assigned, education completed |
| 99454 | Device supply with readings on 16–30 days in a 30-day period | Days with at least one transmitted reading |
| 99445 (new for 2026) | Device supply with readings on 2–15 days in a 30-day period | Same, for lower-frequency monitoring |
| 99470 (new for 2026) | First 10 minutes of treatment management in a calendar month | Clinician time, including a live interactive contact with the patient |
| 99457 | First 20 minutes of treatment management in a calendar month | Clinician time, including a live interactive contact with the patient |
| 99458 | Each additional 20 minutes | Additional time, logged against the patient |
Compliance by Market
