Readiness to Adopt Remote Monitoring Technologies for Chronic Disease Management
Meghan M Searl*, Kamal Jethwani, Khinlei Myint-u, Joseph Kvedar*

Background: Many Primary Care Physicians (PCPs) report that their workload is overwhelming and unsustainable. At the same time, many patients with chronic diseases come in for office visits that are largely unnecessary. With the advent of innovative remote monitoring technologies (RMTs) that collect and transmit physiologic data (e.g., blood pressure, weight, blood sugar) online, it is now possible for providers to track health data at a population level, and intervene with patients only when...

Healthy People 2020 objectives highlight the need to improve patient education to recognize early signs and symptoms, and have physicians assess asthma c...

Clare Flanagan, Shiyi Zan, Meghan Searl, Mihir Kamdar, Stephen O. Agboola, Kamal Jethwani*

Background: In addition to the inherent pathophysiological effects associated with any cancer, pain continues to be one of the most feared consequences of the disease; upwards of 14% of patients experiencing cancer pain (CP) have inadequate analgesia. CP can be present at any phase of the disease process, and is associated with distressing psychosocial discomforts that adversely impact a patient’s quality of life. Clinical guidelines recommend that patients be screened for CP at any encount...
