Remote Patient Monitoring for Prehabilitation and Rehabilitation

Remote patient monitoring is the technological backbone of the PREHAB 2 REHAB pathway. It allows a single clinical team to oversee thousands of patients simultaneously — capturing recovery data continuously, surfacing early-warning signals, and intervening before complications escalate. For hospitals under bed and workforce pressure, this is what makes prehabilitation and rehabilitation scalable without expanding headcount.

During the prehabilitation phase, monitoring captures baseline fitness, activity, and adherence to prescribed exercise, nutrition, and psychological support. After surgery, the same platform tracks mobilisation, wound recovery, pain, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) across the full rehabilitation journey. Patients engage through a simple app and portal, while clinicians work from a risk-stratified dashboard that prioritises who needs attention next.

The result is a measurable shift in the economics of perioperative care. By moving oversight out of the hospital and into the home, community, gym, and virtual clinic, length of stay falls, post-operative complications drop, and cost-to-serve declines non-linearly as more patients are added to a pathway. Crucially, every monitored patient contributes outcome data, giving commissioners and insurers the evidence they need to fund value-based recovery packages — and giving clinicians the confidence that scaling care does not mean diluting it.
