DIGITAL HEALTH CEOs LAUNCH COUNCIL TO ADVANCE TECH-ENABLED CARE

Council will shape the future for high-quality remote patient monitoring (RPM)

WASHINGTON, May 14, 2025 — Today, leading digital health companies announced the creation of the Remote Monitoring Leadership Council (“the Council”), a new alliance of innovative companies that are transforming how care is delivered across all 50 states. The Council’s mission is to use technology to improve outcomes and lower costs – at scale. The Council will advocate for broader access to RPM, elevate the standard of care in the U.S through high-quality RPM, and partner with policymakers to share data, outcomes, and accelerate adoption.

This tech-enabled care is aligned with the goals of the current Administration – addressing chronic disease, driving cost savings, and empowering patients. RPM allows practitioners to keep patients healthier and out of the hospital by monitoring and proactively managing care in response to changes in vitals. RPM technology allows for a care team to better support patients outside of office visits, and gives patients more ownership of their health.

A proven clinical solution, RPM, is driving positive results in chronic disease management, post-acute care, and patient self-management. Peer-reviewed studies show reduced medical spending and improved clinical outcomes. A recent study showed annual savings of $1,308 per-senior in Medicare with heart failure, hypertension, or type 2 diabetes.

Today, the Council is in Washington D.C. meeting with Trump Administration officials and Congress on opportunities to strengthen this cost-saving, tech-enabled care. RPM services were first enabled by the Trump Administration in 2019 and have shown strong clinical outcomes for seniors since.  Additional leadership is needed to make sure RPM is able to drive a healthier America, additional cost-savings for taxpayers, and patients empowered by their own data. 

Founding members include Best Buy Health, BioIntelliSense, Cadence, CoachCare, CopilotIQ/Bioformis, HealthSnap, and Impilo. Membership in the Council is reserved for organizations committed to upholding the Principles for High-Quality Remote Patient Monitoring and advocating for high-quality remote monitoring and care management.

“High-quality remote care is no longer optional, but essential infrastructure for delivering consistent and effective care. We’re proud to join the Remote Monitoring Leadership Council to help shape the future of healthcare, define clear standards for clinical excellence and advocate for the policies that will make this care model accessible to every patient who needs it.” – Chris Altchek, Founder and CEO, Cadence

“Enabling patients with serious chronic diseases – diabetes, heart failure, and high blood pressure to receive critical monitoring and care at home, is essential to combat the growing epidemic. We are proud to support a coalition of companies dedicated to defining and delivering best practices, which is in line with our vision to reduce the overall cost of care to the system and help patients add five great years to their lives.” – David Koretz, CEO, Biofourmis/CopilotIQ

“Remote Patient Monitoring must be recognized and protected as a cornerstone of a sustainable, value-based healthcare system. At HealthSnap, we see daily across more than 150 hospitals and health systems how RPM reduces the total cost of care, strengthens patient-clinician relationships, and enables earlier intervention. This is not a pilot or a nice-to-have. RPM is a necessary infrastructure for modern chronic disease management. Now is the time for leaders to champion policies that ensure these programs are scalable, equitable, and built to last.” – Samson Magid, Co-Founder & CEO, HealthSnap

“BioIntelliSense is committed to advancing the beneficial outcomes of medical grade continuous remote monitoring of patients both in the hospital and at home. These benefits include reducing hospital mortality and length of stay, reducing post discharge readmissions and ER visits, and ultimately reducing total cost of care while improving healthcare workforce efficiencies. This Council will be instrumental in communicating these benefits and working with policy makers, payers, and practitioners to help accelerate the adoption of these solutions to take better care of more patients at a fraction of the cost.” – James Mault, MD, Executive Chairman and Founder, BioIntelliSense, Inc.

“Impilo is thrilled to join RMLC to further the mission of providing remote patient monitoring to Americans and ensuring our customers drive better outcomes in their patients’ lives through connected devices and scalable, user-friendly platforms. Remote monitoring is a key tool for providing care as it continues to shift to the home.” – Josh Stein, Founder & CEO, Implio

“CoachCare is thrilled to act as a founding member of the Remote Monitoring Leadership Council (RMLC). We believe the RMLC fills a critical gap for industry participants and will drive broader and better compliance and access to care for patients struggling everyday with chronic conditions.” – Andrew Zengilowski, Chief Executive Officer, CoachCare

The Remote Monitoring Leadership Council sent a letter to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) with a call to action on the future of remote physiologic monitoring.

Specifically, as CMS looks at modernizing Medicare, by leveraging technology, the Council requested CMS to consider recommendations to ensure RPM continues to serve Medicare beneficaries.

The Council believes CMS should modernize the way it reimburses to:

• Include the necessary capabilities of a top-tier RPM program – such as capturing costs related to the software and technology required to delivery these services at scale.
• Account for average patient complexity, including presence of co-morbid conditions that are better managed when a patient receives RPM.
• Adopt reasonable guardrails to ensure patients are receiving a high-quality RPM services and the Medicare program sees the cost-savings that we know they generate.
