Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) Program

• You will use a blood pressure monitor to measure your blood pressure at home and enter the data into the patient app, Prevvy. You can do this manually (by hand) or through Bluetooth connection via your smartphone.
• Your data is shared right away with the clinical team, including Health Homes (if you are part of the Health Homes program). This way the team can act fast if any of your blood pressure readings are outside of the normal range.
• The Prevvy app is set up to send messages to you and your clinical team based on set clinical guidelines.

No. In order to make sure that the data is correct, you are the only person who should be using the monitor.

Right now, the program is only available for CHN patients who are getting medical care or are in the Health Homes program at CHN.

Unfortunately, if you don’t have a smartphone, you cannot participate at this time. Right now, patients need a smartphone to be in the program. However, our Social Work team is exploring opportunities to provide smartphones to patients in need.

Yes. At your in-person visit, a CHN staff member will teach you how to measure your blood pressure. You will get a copy of the How to Navigate and Measure Your Blood Pressure with Prevvy guide. It can also be found on Prevvy for you to review later.

Ideally, you will need to measure your blood pressure 2 times in the morning and 2 times in the evening.

You will get a reminder message from Prevvy to your phone to take your blood pressure.

By participating in the RPM program, you will:

• Be more engaged with your care.
• Get help to achieve better blood pressure control.
