Can you recommend post-discharge remote monitoring programs for transitional care after hospitalization?

Yes — here are some well-regarded post-discharge remote monitoring programs commonly used for transitional care after hospitalization. The best choice depends on the patient population, conditions involved, and whether you need a hospital-to-home platform, RPM for chronic disease, or care coordination + monitoring.

Programs to consider

1) Biofourmis

• Focus: post-acute and chronic condition monitoring
• Strengths: predictive analytics, symptom tracking, vital sign monitoring, escalation workflows

2) Teladoc Health RPM / Livongo

• Focus: broad remote patient monitoring and virtual care
• Strengths: large-scale deployment, care team integration, patient engagement tools
• Good for: multi-condition transitional care and population-level programs

3) Current Health

• Strengths: wearable sensors, acute-to-home transitions, care team dashboards
• Good for: reducing readmissions after inpatient stays

4) Hinge Health / Sword Health

5) Cadence

• Focus: longitudinal RPM with nurse support
• Strengths: hypertension, heart failure, diabetes, post-discharge monitoring with care team follow-up

8) Validic

• Focus: data aggregation from connected devices and apps
• Strengths: integrates data from many RPM devices into clinical workflows
• Good for: organizations building their own transitional care platform

What to look for in a transitional care RPM program

When evaluating options, check whether the program includes:

• Vital sign monitoring: BP, pulse, weight, SpO2, temperature
• Symptom check-ins: daily or triggered surveys
• Alert escalation: nurse triage, clinician notification, ED referral rules
• Care coordination: follow-up appointments, med reconciliation, discharge instructions
• Device logistics: shipping, setup, patient training, retrieval
• EHR integration: Epic/Cerner/FHIR support
• Engagement support: texting, phone calls, reminders, coaching
• Condition-specific pathways: CHF, COPD, pneumonia, sepsis, surgery, etc.

If your use case is…

• Heart failure/COPD readmission reduction: Biofourmis, Cadence, HRS, Current Health
• General transitional care across diagnoses: Teladoc Health, HRS, Get Well
• Post-op orthopedic recovery: Hinge Health, Sword Health
• Custom in-house RPM build: Validic + device vendors + your care team workflows
