Remote patient monitoring (RPM) has moved from a billing novelty to a core part of how modern practices deliver care between visits. The right RPM partner depends on what you monitor, who your patients are and how your team works. This guide covers what to look for and compares the leading remote patient monitoring companies and software platforms, including where Heads Up fits.
What to look for in remote patient monitoring software
Four things separate great RPM platforms from average ones: device breadth (how many monitors, wearables and meters connect out of the box), clinical intelligence (whether the platform surfaces what needs attention or just collects numbers), patient engagement (whether patients actually see and understand their own data) and billing support (time and data-day tracking that stands up to an audit).
Best remote patient monitoring companies and platforms
1. Heads Up
Heads Up is an AI-powered clinical intelligence platform that goes beyond classic vitals-only RPM. It connects 100+ sources, from blood pressure monitors, connected scales and CGMs to Oura, Garmin and lab results, and turns them into live patient dashboards with trends and alerts. Practices in longevity, functional medicine, concierge care and medical weight loss use it to run data-driven programs, and the built-in RPM billing data dashboard supports monitoring-time and data-day workflows. Best for practices that want RPM plus a full picture of each patient, not just a vitals feed.
2. Health Recovery Solutions
A long-established RPM vendor focused on post-acute and chronic care programs for health systems, with logistics support for shipping and managing monitoring kits. Best for hospital-affiliated programs managing high-acuity populations.
3. CareSimple
A turnkey RPM platform with cellular-connected devices that work out of the box without apps or pairing, aimed at reducing friction for older patients. Best for practices prioritising simplicity for less tech-confident populations.
4. Optimize Health
An RPM service and software provider that pairs its platform with clinical monitoring staff, useful for practices that want to outsource the day-to-day watching of readings. Best for teams without spare clinical capacity.
5. Accuhealth
An RPM provider combining connected devices with 24/7 monitoring services and an emphasis on straightforward reimbursement workflows. Best for smaller practices that want a managed service.
6. 100Plus
An AI-assisted RPM platform with a virtual assistant that handles patient outreach around readings. Best for practices that want automation around patient touchpoints.
7. Biocanic
A health program platform for functional and integrative practitioners with protocol-driven programs and lab integrations. Best for functional health programs where monitoring is part of a broader protocol.
8. Guava Health
A consumer-first personal health record that patients sometimes bring to their providers, aggregating their own device and lab data. Best thought of as a patient-side companion rather than a practice RPM system.
Which RPM company is right for your practice?
If your priority is classic vitals monitoring for a high-acuity population with managed services, a dedicated vendor like Health Recovery Solutions or Optimize Health fits well. If your practice runs data-driven programs across weight loss, longevity, functional or concierge care and you want RPM as part of one unified patient picture, Heads Up’s remote patient monitoring platform is built for exactly that. You can also take the free remote patient monitoring CE course or request a demo to see it with your own use case.
Frequently asked questions
What do remote patient monitoring companies actually provide?
Most provide three things: connected devices for patients, software that collects and organizes the readings, and workflows or services that help clinical teams respond and bill for monitoring.
How do practices bill for remote patient monitoring?
RPM billing is based on documented monitoring time and days of transmitted data each month. Platforms like Heads Up track both automatically so billing evidence is ready when you need it.
Can RPM work for weight loss and GLP-1 programs?
Yes. Connected scales, CGMs and wearables let clinics monitor weight loss and GLP-1 outcomes between visits, which improves engagement and supports eligible billing.
