«Since the COVID-19 pandemic, Sweetwater has been perpetually short-staffed. The team always has seemed strapped for time, finding it challenging to monitor at-risk patients with hypertension and obesity to help manage their chronic conditions and look for signs of impending problems.»

«Before we had remote patient monitoring with an AI-enabled virtual assistant, a patient would come to the office for a visit, where their blood pressure and/or weight was taken and recorded, or maybe they regularly tracked these metrics with a self-process – typically non-digital with pen and paper – at home, which then was shared at the visit or via telehealth,» he continued.»
