Remote Monitoring Equals Healthier Patients

I know I promised an article that discussed the Biotronik studies.  However, I just came across a brief article that I wanted to share.  It's a brief description of an article that shows the introduction of remote monitoring can substantially reduce hospital admissions.  Here's the link:  http://articles.icmcc.org/2009/11/20/remote-monitoring-yields-healthier-patients/.

This is the kind of article that provides additional, supporting evidence that demonstrates the benefits of remote monitoring: to patients and to the bottom-line of health care.  Furthermore, as I remarked in http://medicalremoteprogramming.blogspot.com/2009/11/virtual-doctor-visit-washington-post.html, the people I've known have wanted to stay out of hospitals.  So this should be considered a win all way around.
