Heart Health in the GLP-1 Era: The Role of Remote Patient Monitoring
Healthcare providers can benefit from high-precision remote monitoring tools like cellular connected scales and blood pressure monitors that offer daily insight into a patient’s weight, BMI, body composition, heart rate, blood pressure and more.
Safely Prescribing GLP-1 Medications for Older Adults: Remote care solutions that offer protection and connection
Remote care solutions, like connected devices and remote patient monitoring allow for safer GLP-1 use in older adults.
Part 3: Supporting Safe and Sustainable Weight Loss With GLP-1s – Managing weight after medication
Weight gain is likely when patients stop taking a GLP-1 therapy. A 2022 study found patients who took the GLP-1 semaglutide had regained two thirds of their prior weight and had similar cardiometabolic changes a year after stopping the medication. Prescribers at doctor’s offices and virtual weight loss programs should track patients throughout their journey and when they stop taking GLP-1s. This monitoring of daily progress provides long-term oversight of weight loss goals and maintenance.
Part 2: Supporting Safe and Sustainable Weight Loss With GLP-1s – Why body composition matters
GLP-1 agonists are remarkably effective in helping patients lose weight. But this can’t be done in a vacuum. One data point that’s often overlooked in a patient’s journey on GLP-1s is body composition.
Part 1: Supporting Safe and Sustainable Weight Loss With GLP-1s – Finding the right remote health technologies
New medications like GLP-1 agonists offer a promising tool to help patients achieve a healthy weight. But supporting patients in long-term weight loss involves more than medication.
