I was excited to sit down and talk with Casey Pittock, CEO of Smart Meter, to talk about this evolution because he\\u2019s been working at the front lines of remote patient monitoring for decades including leading the OneSource and Senior Living divisions of Lifeline which had 500,000 subscribers when it was acquired by Philips.  His knowledge and experience in this space and the movement from remotely monitoring seniors to remote physiologic monitoring of patients tells an important story of how far we\\u2019ve come and where we\\u2019re heading.

In the interview, along with sharing about his experience with RPM technology and how far we\\u2019ve come, Pittock shares what separates Smart Meter devices from the plethora of other connected blood pressure, glucose, and smart scales out there.  Not all devices are created equal and he shares how easy connectivity to those devices is key.  Pittock also shares how he sees this market playing out with so many companies and devices entering the space.  

\\n

I also asked him to talk about their work with other RPM companies and their thoughts on providing devices to other RPM companies versus having healthcare organizations use their platform to connect to the devices.  Pittock also shares the best patient story he\\u2019s heard from someone using a Smart Meter RPM device.  Then, he finishes off sharing where RPM technology is headed next.
