| Prerequisite | Type | Confidence | Evidence level | Note | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Telemedicine Platforms (telemedicine_platforms) | enabling | 76% | review | RPM is part of telehealth care delivery, using remote data flows to support provider assessment and clinical decisions. |
|
| Internet of Things (IoT) & Ubiquitous Connectivity (internet_of_things_iot_ubiquitous_connectivity) | commercial_or_scaling_dependency | 78% | review | Wireless connected devices, portals, and apps let RPM scale from local measurement into continuous remote clinical workflows. |
|
| Ambulatory Physiological Monitoring (ambulatory_physiological_monitoring) | enabling | 80% | review | RPM depends on patient-generated physiological data from ambulatory or wearable monitoring devices, not on molecular diagnostic assays. |
