Top Remote Patient Monitoring Platforms (August 2026 Edition)

Buyer's GuideJun 18, 2026 · 19 min read

Short answer

Evaluating remote patient monitoring platforms comes down to HIPAA-compliant data capture from connected devices, EHR integration depth, and automated tracking of CMS RPM billing codes (99453, 99454, 99457, 99458). For custom builds beyond off-the-shelf RPM software, RaftLabs built PDC, a HIPAA-compliant RPM platform that enrolled 25+ clinics in 60 days, at 4.9/5 on Clutch and $29-$49/hr.

Key Takeaways

  • Remote patient monitoring platforms split into two buying models: software-only platforms (HealthArc, Prevounce, MedM Platform) that your own clinical staff operates, and full-service programs (CoachCare, Athelas, CareSimple) that bundle in monitoring staff, claims support, or full infrastructure ownership.
  • CMS's core RPM billing codes 99453, 99454, 99457, and 99458 carry over unchanged into 2026, but two new codes, 99445 and 99470, now let practices bill on shorter 2-15 day data-collection windows and 10-minute management increments starting January 1, 2026.
  • Insider Intelligence projects that roughly 70.6 million Americans, about 26% of the population, used some form of remote patient monitoring by the end of 2025, which is why automated billing-code tracking is a real time saver for a practice's billing team, not a nice-to-have.
  • CareSimple's RPM infrastructure is already deployed at health systems including Mass General Brigham, MD Anderson Cancer Center, and Henry Ford Health; Docobo's virtual ward platform runs across multiple NHS trusts in the UK.
  • RaftLabs ranks second on this list as the strongest choice for healthcare businesses that need a custom-built RPM platform. RaftLabs built PDC, a HIPAA-compliant platform that enrolled 25+ clinics in 60 days, at $29-$49/hr, fixed price.

Most remote patient monitoring shortlists compare vendors on device count and price per patient without asking the question that actually determines fit: are you buying software your own clinical staff operates, or a fully staffed program someone else runs for you? Get that wrong and the number you signed up for doesn't include what you assumed was bundled, whether that's a nurse reading alerts or a team tracking CMS billing thresholds by hand. By 2040, the elderly population is expected to double, and the platforms that scale cleanly through that growth are the ones that make this distinction obvious before you sign, not after the first missed alert.

The eight remote patient monitoring platforms on this list are CareSimple, RaftLabs, HealthArc, Prevounce, CoachCare, MedM Platform, Docobo, and Athelas. RaftLabs is on this list. We wrote our own entry with the same directness we applied to everyone else.

Quick answer: Evaluating remote patient monitoring platforms comes down to HIPAA-compliant data capture from connected devices, EHR integration depth, and automated tracking of CMS RPM billing codes (99453, 99454, 99457, 99458). For custom builds beyond off-the-shelf RPM software, RaftLabs built PDC, a HIPAA-compliant RPM platform that enrolled 25+ clinics in 60 days, at 4.9/5 on Clutch and $29-$49/hr.

How we evaluated this list

CriterionWhat we looked for
Production track recordNamed health-system clients, live NHS trust deployments, or a documented case study, not just a marketing claim of "trusted by providers"
Device and EHR integration depthVerified breadth of connected-device support and named EHR integrations (Epic, Cerner, Meditech, or a stated integration count)
CMS billing-code supportWhether the platform automates tracking of CPT 99453, 99454, 99457, and 99458, or leaves that log to the billing team
Pricing transparencyPublicly stated per-patient-per-month rates, subscription tiers, or an honest "not published, quoted per contract" rather than silence
Compliance depthHIPAA, HITRUST, or equivalent certification appropriate to the platform's client base (US practice vs. UK NHS trust)

No company paid for placement on this list.

The 8 platforms

1. CareSimple

CareSimple is a virtual care infrastructure provider founded in 2009 and based in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. It covers remote patient monitoring, transitional care management, hospital-in-the-home, chronic care management, remote therapeutic monitoring, and diabetes self-management under one contract. Rather than selling a single software module, CareSimple positions itself as full RPM infrastructure: devices, cellular connectivity, software, EHR integration, and billing operations bundled together.

That full-stack approach is aimed squarely at large health systems that don't want to stitch together a device vendor, a monitoring platform, and a billing partner separately. It is HIPAA and GDPR compliant, which matters for systems with any cross-border data footprint.

Notable work: CareSimple's client list includes Mass General Brigham, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Henry Ford Health, and Cooper University Health Care. The platform integrates directly with major EMR systems including Epic, Cerner, and Meditech, which is a meaningful differentiator against smaller vendors that only claim generic "EHR integration" without naming a supported system.

Pricing signal: CareSimple does not publish pricing. Because the offering bundles devices, cellular connectivity, software, and billing operations into a single contract, quotes are scoped per health system based on device volume and support tier, not listed as a flat rate.

What to watch: CareSimple is built for large health systems and multi-site practices, not a solo clinic piloting RPM with a handful of patients. If your organization wants a lightweight, self-serve software subscription rather than a full infrastructure partnership, the sales and onboarding process here is heavier than the brief requires.

  • Best for: Health systems and large multi-site practices that need full RPM infrastructure with named EHR integrations

  • Specialization: RPM, hospital-at-home, chronic and transitional care management, multi-EMR integration

  • Pricing: Not published -- quoted per health system

  • Clutch: Not on Clutch -- verify via direct reference


2. RaftLabs

Off-the-shelf RPM platforms lock you into a vendor's device catalog, alerting logic, and billing workflow. That works fine until your device mix, your EHR, or your care model doesn't match what the platform was built around. RaftLabs is a custom remote patient monitoring platform partner for healthcare businesses in that position: the software gets built around your actual clinical workflow instead of the other way around.

RaftLabs built PDC, a HIPAA-compliant remote patient monitoring platform, for a US healthcare startup. The platform connects continuous glucose monitors and blood pressure monitors to a provider portal in real time, with separate role-based logins for admins, providers, patients, and specialists. It was built in 14 weeks on HIPAA-eligible AWS infrastructure, using SQS message queuing to handle data transmission from multiple devices without loss. Within 60 days of launch, 25 clinics had enrolled.

Notable work: PDC now supports 4+ wearable device types (CGM and BPM among them) and reads data continuously throughout the day rather than at the point of a clinic visit. Providers receive real-time vital-sign alerts, and role-based access control was designed into the system from the first architectural decision, not added later. RaftLabs also built a companion AI-enhanced remote patient monitoring platform for chronic care management that automates data analysis and personalized insights.

Pricing signal: $29-$49/hr, fixed-price engagements. Scoping runs two to four weeks and produces a fixed-price proposal before any design or development commitment, so the total build cost is known before work starts.

What to watch: RaftLabs builds custom software; it does not sell an existing subscription platform. If you need to be live in a week and can work within a vendor's existing device SDK, an established platform elsewhere on this list will deploy faster. RaftLabs is the right fit when the requirement doesn't fit a subscription platform's data model, device catalog, or alerting logic, and a 60-person firm's capacity is matched to a defined-scope build, not a program requiring 20+ concurrent workstreams.

  • Best for: Healthcare companies that need a custom RPM platform built around their own device mix, EHR, and clinical workflow

  • Specialization: HIPAA-compliant healthcare software engineering, wearable device data integration, clinician dashboards

  • Pricing: $29-$49/hr, fixed-price engagements

  • Clutch: 4.9/5


3. HealthArc

HealthArc is a unified care management and remote patient monitoring platform built around real clinical workflows rather than a single condition type. Care teams track blood pressure, glucose, weight, and oxygen saturation using FDA-approved Bluetooth devices, with automated alerts when a reading crosses a set threshold. The platform is designed for physician practices, health systems, accountable care organizations, federally qualified health centers, and specialty clinics.

Its differentiator is integration breadth: HealthArc lists more than 20 EHR integrations and support for 40+ medical devices, with tailored programs for cardiology, pulmonary, diabetes, and neurology care. That range is wider than most single-specialty RPM vendors offer.

Notable work: HealthArc's own published pricing guidance states that the subscription-based model charges $40 to $80 per patient per month for the full service (device, platform, and monitoring), while providers separately bill CMS $120 to $200 per patient per month under the RPM CPT codes, a spread the company uses to frame RPM as a net-positive revenue line for a practice once volume clears the platform cost.

Pricing signal: Subscription, $40-$80 per patient per month for the bundled device, platform, and monitoring service. Providers bill CMS separately for clinical management time.

What to watch: HealthArc's breadth of EHR and device support suits multi-specialty implementations well. A solo practice wanting the simplest possible turnkey bundle, device plus billing plus monitoring staff handled entirely by the vendor, will find dedicated full-service vendors like CoachCare or Athelas more turnkey.

  • Best for: Multi-specialty practices and health systems that need broad EHR and device interoperability

  • Specialization: Cardiology, pulmonary, diabetes, and neurology RPM programs; 20+ EHR integrations

  • Pricing: $40-$80 per patient per month (full service)

  • Clutch: Not on Clutch -- verify via direct reference


4. Prevounce

Prevounce is an Indianapolis-based RPM and chronic care management platform launched in 2019, hosted on AWS and certified to the HITRUST Common Security Framework. It manages remote care programs across 18 conditions, including hypertension, heart failure, COPD, and preeclampsia, and serves health systems, physician practices, health insurance companies, federally qualified health centers, rural health clinics, and payors.

The platform guides users through regulatory and billing requirements from patient enrollment through device shipment and data review, which is a meaningful reduction in administrative overhead for practices new to RPM billing.

Notable work: Prevounce raised $2.5 million in Series A funding in 2023 to expand its remote care management infrastructure, and its program library spans 18 distinct chronic conditions, a breadth that reflects a compliance-first build rather than a single-device product.

Pricing signal: Prevounce does not publish flat pricing. The company uses a SaaS fee model tied to billable RPM clients: a nominal per-client fee to Prevounce, with the practice retaining the balance of CMS reimbursement revenue.

What to watch: HITRUST certification and the compliance-heavy positioning suit regulated health systems and payors well. A very small independent practice wanting the cheapest possible entry point into RPM may find Prevounce's enterprise-grade compliance stack more infrastructure than the pilot requires.

  • Best for: Health systems and FQHCs that need HITRUST-certified compliance depth across a wide chronic-condition program list

  • Specialization: RPM, chronic care management, annual wellness visits, billing and regulatory compliance

  • Pricing: Not published -- SaaS fee per billable RPM client

  • Clutch: Not on Clutch -- verify via direct reference


5. CoachCare

CoachCare is a remote patient monitoring platform built for health systems and independent clinics that want to be live fast. Integration typically takes as little as two weeks, and the platform bundles automated time tracking, expert claims support, and 24/7 tech support for providers, staff, and patients into the subscription.

The billing-support angle is CoachCare's clearest differentiator. Rather than leaving CMS code compliance entirely to the practice's billing team, CoachCare's claims support is built into the onboarding process from day one.

Notable work: CoachCare reports that its typical RPM clients see a 4.2x yearly return on investment through additional RPM revenue, with better than 95% claims approval and payment on submitted billing.

Pricing signal: Subscription plans start around $45 per month, with pricing scaling by patient volume and feature tier. Automated time tracking is built in to simplify the documentation CMS requires for 99457 and 99458.

What to watch: CoachCare's strength is fast setup paired with billing support, not the deepest EHR interoperability. A practice that needs to integrate with 20+ different EHR systems across multiple specialties will find HealthArc's integration count a better match; a health system wanting full clinical staffing built into the contract should look at Athelas or CareSimple instead.

  • Best for: Independent clinics that want fast RPM setup with built-in billing and claims support

  • Specialization: Rapid onboarding (as little as two weeks), automated time tracking, reimbursement optimization

  • Pricing: Subscription plans from $45 per month

  • Clutch: Not on Clutch -- verify via direct reference


6. MedM Platform

MedM, founded in 2012, is an interoperability specialist rather than a single-device product. Its RPM platform supports more than 1,000 medical sensors and wearables, and is sensor-, smartphone-, and hosting-agnostic, meaning it can be deployed on virtually any device stack and ported across operating systems. New sensor models are typically onboarded in a matter of days, not months.

MedM Care, the company's SaaS offering, supports programs as small as 10 patients with a fixed per-patient-per-month cost and no setup fee, and offers a free one-month trial without commitment, which lowers the risk of a pilot considerably. It is compliant with the EU Medical Device Directive, FDA regulations, and HIPAA.

Notable work: MedM's platform is used across chronic disease management, senior and home care, decentralized clinical trials, pharma research, post-discharge monitoring, pregnancy monitoring, and general health and wellness tracking, spanning a wider set of use cases than most single-condition RPM vendors support.

Pricing signal: Fixed per-patient-per-month pricing with no setup fee, and a free one-month trial for programs starting as small as 10 patients.

What to watch: MedM's core strength is device interoperability breadth, not a fully staffed monitoring service. Organizations still need their own clinical staff or software layer to act on the data it collects; it is closer to a platform and SDK layer for developers than a turnkey monitored program.

  • Best for: Organizations that need the broadest device and sensor compatibility, including CGM, decentralized clinical trials, and pharma research use cases

  • Specialization: Device interoperability, SDK for custom app builders, multi-OS deployment

  • Pricing: Fixed per-patient-per-month, no setup fee, free one-month trial

  • Clutch: Not on Clutch -- verify via direct reference


7. Docobo

Docobo is a UK-based digital health company with more than 21 years of remote monitoring experience, providing a cloud-based virtual ward and remote patient monitoring platform to the NHS. Clinical teams run daily virtual ward rounds assessing patient observations, including blood oxygen levels and blood sugar, submitted through Docobo's Careportal.

Docobo's deployments run at NHS trust and integrated care board scale rather than individual practice scale. Confirmed clients include Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust and Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in Merseyside, all three acute hospitals across Coventry and Warwickshire, and a Northamptonshire remote monitoring project rolled out across 11 care homes and a community admission-avoidance virtual ward.

Notable work: Docobo's virtual ward model is credited by NHS trusts with easing admission pressure by identifying high-risk patients and creating customized monitoring cohorts, with trusts tracking ROI and patient health impact for evidence-based commissioning decisions.

Pricing signal: Docobo does not publish pricing. Contracts are negotiated per NHS trust or integrated care board through public-sector procurement, not sold on a US-style per-patient-per-month basis.

What to watch: Docobo's platform and go-to-market are built around NHS and UK virtual ward procurement, not US CMS RPM billing codes. A US-based practice evaluating CPT 99453, 99454, 99457, and 99458 reimbursement workflows should look to one of the other seven platforms on this list instead.

  • Best for: UK NHS trusts and integrated care boards running virtual wards and admission-avoidance programs

  • Specialization: Virtual wards, community monitoring cohorts, NHS-scale deployment

  • Pricing: Not published -- NHS trust and ICB procurement

  • Clutch: Not on Clutch -- verify via direct reference


8. Athelas

Athelas runs a device-plus-staff hybrid remote patient monitoring model rather than a self-service software subscription. Devices ship directly to patients with free shipping and quick setup, and the company performs an insurance eligibility check before enrolling anyone, so patients and practices know upfront whether Medicare, Medicare Advantage, most PPOs, or select HMOs will cover the service. Athelas also handles insurance billing on the practice's behalf.

Hundreds of physicians use Athelas' RPM program today. Beyond core vitals tracking, the platform includes Athelas PillTrack, a medication reminder feature aimed at improving adherence for patients managing chronic conditions at home.

Notable work: Athelas' service model bundles device shipment, patient onboarding, and CMS insurance billing into one managed offering, removing most of the administrative setup a practice would otherwise handle in-house when launching an RPM program.

Pricing signal: Athelas does not publish flat pricing on its site. The company's model centers on billing insurance directly and managing the RPM revenue cycle end-to-end for the practice, which differentiates it from a per-seat or per-patient software license.

What to watch: This is a turnkey managed-service model built around Athelas' own insurance billing relationships. A practice that wants to own its device vendor relationship and bill CMS directly itself will find the vendor lock-in here tighter than with a pure software platform like MedM or HealthArc.

  • Best for: Practices that want a fully managed RPM program, devices, nursing support, and billing, instead of software they operate themselves

  • Specialization: Insurance-eligibility verification, patient medication reminders, device shipping and setup

  • Pricing: Not published -- insurance-billed managed service

  • Clutch: Not on Clutch -- verify via direct reference

The question that separates software-only platforms from full-service programs

The most common way buyers get an RPM purchase wrong is comparing vendors on device count and price per patient without first deciding what they're actually buying: a software subscription their own team operates, or a service someone else runs for them. Both are legitimate models. The mistake is not deciding which one you need before you start comparing quotes, and discovering after signing that the number you agreed to doesn't include what you assumed was bundled.

Software-only platforms: HealthArc, Prevounce, and MedM Platform (along with RaftLabs' custom-built option) put the technology in your hands: broad device and EHR support, transparent or fixed per-patient pricing, but your own clinical staff still reads the alerts and your billing team still tracks the CMS codes each month. This model works when a practice already has care coordinators or nurses with spare capacity to review monitoring data daily.

Full-service programs: CoachCare, Athelas, and CareSimple absorb more of the operational load. CoachCare bundles in claims support and automated time tracking; Athelas adds insurance eligibility verification and end-to-end billing; CareSimple, at health-system scale, owns the full infrastructure stack. Docobo is a variant of this model for UK NHS virtual wards, where the trust's own clinical staff runs the monitoring, but the platform itself is procured and deployed at system scale. This model works when a practice doesn't have spare staff capacity to review monitoring data every day and would rather pay for that layer as a service.

Getting the model wrong is more expensive than getting the vendor wrong.

"It's probably the biggest changes we've seen in RPM -- and there are changes in RTM as well -- in a couple of years." -- Lucienne Marie Ide, MD, PhD, founder and CEO of Rimidi, discussing CMS's 2026 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule changes to remote patient monitoring billing codes, in an interview with Medical Economics.

Insider Intelligence projects that roughly 70.6 million Americans, about 26% of the population, used some form of remote patient monitoring by the end of 2025. That scale is exactly why the CMS billing-code changes Ide references matter to platform selection, not just to a billing department's monthly workload. CPT 99453, 99454, 99457, and 99458 remain the core RPM codes for device setup, data collection, and monthly clinical management time, and starting January 1, 2026, CMS added two new codes, 99445 and 99470, to allow billing on shorter data-collection and management-time windows. A platform that tracks these thresholds automatically saves a billing team real hours every month. A platform that doesn't pushes that tracking onto clinical staff by hand, at the exact moment enrollment volume is growing fastest.

The verdict

CareSimple for health systems that want full RPM infrastructure already validated at places like Mass General Brigham and MD Anderson.

RaftLabs for a custom-built RPM platform when an off-the-shelf vendor's device catalog or alerting logic doesn't fit your care model.

HealthArc for multi-specialty practices that need the broadest EHR and device interoperability.

Prevounce for health systems and FQHCs that need HITRUST-certified compliance across a wide chronic-condition list.

CoachCare for independent clinics that want fast setup with billing and claims support built in.

MedM Platform for teams building their own app on top of the widest available sensor library.

Docobo for NHS trusts and UK integrated care boards running virtual wards.

Athelas for practices that want a fully managed program, devices, monitoring staff, and insurance billing handled end-to-end.

The decision that matters most isn't which logo sits on the dashboard. It's whether you're buying software your team operates or a service someone else runs on your behalf, and that distinction can turn two similar-looking spec sheets into very different monthly bills once you're past the pilot.

Frequently asked questions

Subscription RPM platforms typically run $40 to $80 per patient per month for the device, software, and monitoring bundle. Some vendors, like CoachCare, start subscription plans around $45 a month; others, like MedM Platform, price per patient with no setup fee. Providers separately bill CMS for CPT codes 99453, 99454, 99457, and 99458, which commonly reimburse in the $120 to $200 per patient per month range, offsetting some or all of the platform cost depending on enrollment volume. A custom-built platform runs on a different model entirely. RaftLabs' engagements are $29-$49/hr, fixed price, with total build cost scoped after a two-to-four-week discovery phase.
CPT 99453 covers one-time device setup and patient education. 99454 covers the connected device supply and data transmission, billable once every 30 days regardless of how many devices a patient uses. 99457 requires at least 20 minutes of logged clinical management time per month, and up to two units of 99458 can be added for additional 20-minute increments beyond that. Starting January 1, 2026, CMS added two new codes: 99445 for device data collected over just 2 to 15 days in a 30-day window, and 99470 for the first 10 minutes of monthly clinical management time. Both lower the threshold a practice previously needed to hit before it could bill anything for a partial month of monitoring.
Software-only platforms like HealthArc, Prevounce, and MedM Platform assume your own clinical staff reads the monitoring data and your billing team tracks CMS codes. Full-service programs like CoachCare and Athelas bundle in monitoring staff, claims support, or insurance eligibility checks. The right choice depends on whether your practice already has care coordinators with spare capacity to review alerts daily, or would rather pay a vendor to run that layer for you. Get the answer in writing before signing, not after the first missed alert reaches a patient's family instead of a nurse.
Most platforms on this list advertise EHR integration, but the depth varies. HealthArc lists integrations with 20+ EHR systems. CareSimple integrates directly with Epic, Cerner, and Meditech. Others describe integration more generally without naming specific systems. Before signing, ask whether the integration is a live API sync or a manual export. The difference determines whether your care team sees real-time data or works from yesterday's export.
CPT 99454 can only be billed once every 30 days regardless of how many connected devices a patient uses, and 99457 and 99458 require logged minutes of clinical management time, not just a device reading. A platform that timestamps device transmissions and clinician touch time automatically removes the manual tracking that trips up billing teams at month-end. One that doesn't makes your staff reconstruct that log by hand. Ask any shortlisted vendor to show, not describe, this tracking before you sign.
MedM's 1,000+ sensor library and HealthArc's 40+ device integrations sit at the wide end of this range. A platform locked to two or three device SKUs will need a new integration project the first time you add a glucometer or a different blood-pressure-cuff brand to your program. Ask any shortlisted vendor what that add-on process actually costs and how long it takes.
Several platforms on this list quote per-patient-per-month pricing that looks inexpensive at pilot scale but compounds fast as enrollment grows. Others don't publish pricing at all because it depends on device volume and support tier. Get a written quote at your target enrollment number before you sign, not just the pilot rate.
RaftLabs is a good fit for healthcare businesses that need a custom-built RPM platform rather than a subscription to an existing one, particularly when a company's device mix, EHR, or clinical workflow doesn't match what an off-the-shelf vendor supports. RaftLabs built PDC, a HIPAA-compliant remote patient monitoring platform, in 14 weeks, with role-based portals for admins, providers, patients, and specialists and support for CGM and blood pressure monitor data feeds. The platform enrolled 25+ clinics within 60 days of launch. Engagements are fixed price, $29-$49/hr, at 4.9/5 on Clutch across 50+ verified reviews. A company that wants to license existing software instead will find one of the other seven platforms on this list faster to deploy.
