The Corona pandemic has highlighted the need for alternative ways of treatment and communication away from doctor visits with close physical contact. Interactive technologies that address this need and are referred to as telemedicine have so far been used complementarily and primarily to bridge large distances between patient and doctor. During the pandemic, however, they have come into general focus for therapy and for improving health management. This does not only concern the (partial) digitalisation of medical activities, but can be technologically extended to the remote monitoring of health conditions, the so-called Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM). These systems are not only designed to bring healthcare out of its traditional environment to where people live and work, but also to improve it qualitatively, e.g. by drastically reducing response times based on continuous data collection and machine evaluation.
