Cardiac RPM at Scale: 29.1 mmHg Reduction in Highest-Risk Patients

2 days ago

How sustained engagement in remote patient monitoring drove measurable blood pressure improvement across 2,738 patients

In a large-scale observational analysis conducted in partnership with Cardiac Solutions, patients participating in CoachCare-enabled remote patient monitoring (RPM) workflows achieved meaningful improvements in blood pressure over time — with the strongest results among those at highest clinical risk.

Across 2,738 patients monitored for at least 12 months, the analysis found an average 6.42 mmHg reduction in blood pressure. Among patients with Stage 2 hypertension, 94.8% improved, with an average reduction of 29.1 mmHg.

Key Results

  • 2,738 patients monitored
  • 6.42 mmHg average blood pressure reduction
  • 94.8% improvement rate among patients with Stage 2 hypertension
  • 29.1 mmHg average reduction among the highest-risk patients

Consistency Drives Better Outcomes

One of the clearest findings from the analysis was the relationship between sustained patient engagement and stronger outcomes.

Patients who consistently submitted blood pressure readings achieved significantly greater improvement than lower-consistency participants:

  • 8.53 mmHg reduction among high-consistency patients
  • 3.54 mmHg reduction among low-consistency patients

The analysis also found that increased clinician minutes did not independently predict stronger outcomes — reinforcing an important operational insight for remote care programs: more time alone is not the goal. Structured workflows that support sustained patient participation may be a more meaningful driver of clinical impact.

Highest-Risk Patients Benefit Most

Patients with Stage 2 hypertension experienced the strongest improvement, demonstrating the potential for structured remote monitoring to make a meaningful difference where intervention matters most.

“What stands out in this analysis is the magnitude of improvement among the highest-risk patients. These results demonstrate how structured remote monitoring can create meaningful blood pressure reductions where clinical intervention matters most.”

What This Means for Cardiac Care

The findings point to a scalable model for cardiovascular care: combine connected monitoring with workflows designed to sustain patient participation over time.

For cardiology organizations managing large populations of patients with hypertension and other chronic cardiovascular conditions, the analysis demonstrates how remote monitoring can help:

  • Extend visibility beyond episodic office visits
  • Identify and support higher-risk patients
  • Drive sustained patient participation
  • Improve blood pressure outcomes at scale
  • Focus clinical resources where intervention matters most
