How Pillar’s Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) System Unlocks Better Outcomes for Community Healthcare Providers
Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) is transforming how community health centers and nonprofits care for patients—especially those managing chronic conditions. Pillar’s RPM solution by SocialRoots.ai is built specifically for community health environments, enabling real-time monitoring, mobile access, and SDOH-integrated workflows.
What is Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)?
Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) allows healthcare providers to track patients’ vital signs, such as blood pressure or glucose levels, using connected medical devices from home. This continuous data stream enables proactive care, early interventions, and better health outcomes.
According to the CDC, RPM can reduce preventable hospitalizations and improve chronic disease management—especially in underserved populations.

- Patients received Bluetooth blood pressure cuffs and glucose meters.
- Vital sign data auto-synced and triggered alerts in Pillar’s RPM dashboard.
- Case managers provided education, reminders, and referrals from one unified system.
