Patient applications for gastroenterology and bariatrics remote patient monitoring

Our gastroenterology and bariatric remote patient monitoring (RPM) solutions support a wide range of applications. Explore our use cases.

Medical weight loss

Use remote monitoring to track patient weight and hold patients accountable for their short- and long-term weight loss goals. 

Studies show that weight management programs that target the root causes of obesity help patients decrease their body weight and maintain a healthy weight long term. They also reduce the risks of chronic diseases and improve blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels.

Post-surgical weight management

We understand that bariatric surgery is no magic solution on its own. Remote weight monitoring helps care teams quickly recognize and act upon patient weight increases.   

Help bariatric patients adhere to post-surgical weight loss management guidelines so they achieve better outcomes like long-term weight loss.

Gastroenterology remote patient monitoring frequently asked questions

How does remote patient monitoring support medically supervised weight loss?

Connected weight scales transmit a patient's weight automatically to their care team, allowing providers to track progress against weight loss goals between office visits, spot plateaus or concerning trends early, and adjust treatment plans, including diet, medication, or referrals to additional support, without waiting for the next scheduled appointment.

What conditions can benefit from weight-based remote patient monitoring?

Weight-based RPM is commonly used for bariatric surgery recovery, managing obesity, tracking GLP-1 or other weight-loss medication therapy. RPM is also often used to monitor patients with comorbid conditions where weight is a key indicator such as diabetes, hypertension, or fatty liver disease since consistent weight trends often reflect broader metabolic health.

What happens if a patient's weight trends raise concern?

With modern RPM solutions like Prevounce providers can set custom alert thresholds so staff are automatically notified if a patient's weight changes outside an expected range, enabling faster outreach than waiting for the next visit.
