The Remote Patient Monitoring Profile describes a standardized means to transmit measurements taken by personal healthcare devices in a remote setting to a health care provider, including remote home monitoring, sub-acute therapy devices and wearable technologies. Remote in this case means outside of a care provider facility and is typically in the patient’s home.

This profile is, for all practical purposes, an expression of the already existing set of standards and interfaces defined by PCHA for the delivery of remote patient data taken by Personal Healthcare Devices to the care provider in terms of IHE actors and transactions. No new standards or transactions are proposed.
