At HealthSnap, we take immense pride in leading the charge to transform chronic disease management through innovative technology. Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) has become a cornerstone in managing conditions like hypertension, empowering patients and healthcare providers to achieve better outcomes together. We’re excited to share how RPM is reshaping hypertension care, supported by the latest insights from our 2025 Cardiology Clinical Outcomes Report, which highlights the profound impact of our programs on cardiovascular health.
The Power of Remote Patient Monitoring in Chronic Care
Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) utilizes advanced technology, such as cellular-enabled blood pressure cuffs, to monitor patients’ health metrics outside traditional clinical settings. This approach enables near real-time data transmission to care teams, facilitating proactive interventions without the need for frequent office visits. By integrating RPM with Chronic Care Management (CCM)—a combination we call Remote Patient Management—HealthSnap delivers personalized care to patients across the country, ensuring improved outcomes and greater accessibility.
Our work demonstrates RPM’s potential to enhance chronic care, reduce costs, and promote health equity—a mission we’re deeply committed to advancing. With over 150 healthcare organizations trusting HealthSnap, including leading systems like Prisma Health, Tampa General Hospital, and Mount Sinai, we’ve remotely monitored and managed over 100,000 patients across 33 states as of April 2025.
HealthSnap’s Hypertension Study: Results
In 2023, HealthSnap partnered with Prisma Health and Virginia Cardiovascular Specialists for a pivotal study titled "Asynchronous Management of Hypertension: The Effectiveness of Remote Patient Monitoring in Mixed Populations." This study evaluated RPM’s impact on hypertension management across diverse patient groups, setting the stage for the remarkable outcomes we continue to achieve today.
The study involved 2,761 patients who committed to taking 30 or more blood pressure readings over at least 90 days. Using cellular-enabled blood pressure cuffs, patients transmitted their data to HealthSnap’s EHR-integrated Virtual Care Management platform. Our licensed clinical staff, now numbering over 400 Licensed Nurse Practitioners (LNPs) as of 2024, closely monitored the readings, analyzed health trends, and collaborated with patients to ensure adherence to evidence-based care plans. This collaborative approach underscored the power of technology and human connection in driving meaningful change.
Key Findings from the Study
The results of this study highlight RPM’s potential as a vital tool in hypertension management:
- Overall Blood Pressure Improvements: Across all patients, we achieved an average systolic blood pressure reduction of 10 mmHg (p < 0.0001), with corresponding improvements in diastolic pressure.
- Cardiology Patients: Systolic BP decreased by 11.4 mmHg, and diastolic by 5.6 mmHg.
- Primary Care Patients: Systolic BP dropped by 8.0 mmHg, and diastolic by 4.6 mmHg.
- Stage 2 Hypertension: Patients with more severe hypertension saw even greater improvements. Cardiology patients experienced a 20.8 mmHg systolic reduction and 13.9 mmHg diastolic reduction, while primary care patients saw a 15.9 mmHg systolic drop and 10.0 mmHg diastolic drop.
- Pulse Pressure: Patients with high pulse pressure benefited as well, with reductions of 6.2 mmHg (primary care) and 5.8 mmHg (cardiology).
These early findings laid the groundwork for the advancements we’ve made since, as detailed in our latest outcomes report.
New Insights from Our 2025 Cardiology Outcomes Report
As of April 2025, HealthSnap’s RPM programs continue to deliver exceptional results across our 150+ partners. Our newly released 2025 Cardiology Clinical Outcomes Report provides fresh insights into how RPM and CCM together are transforming hypertension management, particularly for patients with Stage 2 hypertension (systolic BP ≥ 140 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥ 90 mmHg).

We’re proud to report that 68% of our patients with high blood pressure now have it under control—a testament to the effectiveness of our approach. This achievement means more patients are living healthier lives, with a reduced risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other complications, giving them greater peace of mind. For healthcare organizations, these outcomes translate to substantial benefits, including cost savings of up to $5,400 per patient annually by reducing emergency room visits and hospital readmissions.
Our clinical results are equally impressive. Patients enrolled in our programs have achieved an average 14.4 mmHg reduction in systolic blood pressure. This reduction is significant because it can lower the risk of serious cardiovascular events by up to 30%, according to a 2021 Lancet meta-analysis (Rahimi et al.). In practical terms, this means fewer health emergencies for patients and a lighter burden on healthcare systems—a win for everyone involved. For patients with Stage 2 hypertension, the outcomes are even more striking, with some achieving systolic reductions as high as 23.4 mmHg.
The 2025 report also highlights the power of dual enrollment in RPM and CCM. In a comparison of 453 dual-enrolled patients versus 531 RPM-only patients with Stage 2 hypertension, those in the combined program saw a 16.72 mmHg systolic BP reduction—55% greater than the 10.82 mmHg reduction in the RPM-only group. Dual-enrolled patients also achieved a 36.2% blood pressure control rate, nearly double the 19.96% rate for RPM-only patients, alongside higher engagement rates (64.9% vs. 49.3%). These findings underscore the synergy of combining continuous monitoring with personalized care management.

How RPM Enhances Hypertension Management
Early Detection of Complications
Hypertension, often called the “silent killer,” can lead to severe complications if left unchecked. RPM addresses this by:
- Continuous Monitoring: Patients can track their blood pressure regularly, identifying subtle changes.
- Real-Time Data Transmission: Data is sent instantly to providers, enabling timely interventions.
- Smart Alerts: Our platform flags abnormal readings, prompting swift action.
- Patient Engagement: Patients are empowered to monitor their health and report concerns early.
Data-Driven Lifestyle Changes
RPM goes beyond monitoring—it supports meaningful lifestyle changes:
- Dietary Adjustments: Patients can see how sodium intake impacts their BP and make informed changes.
- Exercise Planning: Data helps patients build exercise routines that effectively lower BP.
- Stress Management: RPM identifies stress-related BP spikes, encouraging techniques like mindfulness.
- Medication Adherence: Seeing the direct impact of medications on BP readings reinforces consistency.
HealthSnap Insight: AI-Driven Care
One area where HealthSnap excels—unlike competitors such as CoachCare, which focuses on weight loss—is our use of AI-driven care. Our platform leverages AI to analyze blood pressure trends and predict potential risks, enabling providers to intervene before complications arise. This proactive approach sets us apart from other RPM vendors, ensuring better outcomes for patients and providers.
RPM’s Impact on Cardiovascular Health
Hypertension is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and RPM plays a critical role in mitigating this risk:
- Post-Operative Care: After procedures like heart surgery or stent placement, RPM monitors vitals to detect issues like arrhythmias or fluid retention early.
- Heart Failure Management: Daily weight checks help identify fluid buildup, allowing for timely medication adjustments.
- Preventing Cardiovascular Events: By controlling BP, RPM reduces the risk of strokes and heart attacks, especially when paired with lifestyle interventions.
Our 2025 report also teases additional cardiology outcomes, such as improved management of chronic heart failure and atrial fibrillation (AFib), with fewer hospitalizations and enhanced patient quality of life.
