RPM Healthcare adds medication tracking to RPM365 app

RPM Healthcare has launched a medication tracking feature in its RPM365 patient app to help patients manage prescriptions, logging, and reminders while keeping nurse Care Coaches in the loop. The update is now available and is designed to support medication routines between clinical visits, especially for patients with chronic conditions.

Why it matters: - The new feature ties medication tracking to nurse-led support, giving patients a more practical way to manage daily routines between visits. - The update is aimed at patients with multiple prescriptions or complex treatment plans, where missed doses and outdated medication lists can affect care. - Patients can also see medications alongside their care plans in the RPM Healthcare app, which may help connect medication adherence to broader health goals.

What happened: - RPM Healthcare launched a medication tracking feature inside its RPM365 patient app. - The feature is now available to patients using the app. - The update combines medication reminders, dose tracking and personalized nurse Care Coach support. - Patients who need help downloading the app, setting up medication lists or using the feature can contact their nurse Care Coach.

The details: - Patients can search for medications, add them to the app, choose strengths and set dosing frequencies and schedules. - The app can send reminders when each dose is due. - Patients can log medications as they take them, creating a record of medication activity in the app. - Nurse Care Coaches can review medications patients add, add medications on a patient’s behalf and send notes and updates through the app. - Patients receive notifications when their medication information has been reviewed or updated. - Care Coaches can ask whether medication lists are current, discuss changes, reinforce prescribed schedules and flag questions that may need follow-up with a provider or pharmacist. - For patients in Chronic Care Management, the feature includes over-the-counter medications as well as prescriptions. - The app lets patients view their care plans alongside the medications they are taking. - Nurse Care Coaches also walk patients through setup, schedules and troubleshooting when needed.

Between the lines: - The feature is designed to make medication information part of routine patient conversations, not a separate task. - RPM Healthcare is using the app to reduce the time nurses spend reconstructing medication lists and increase the time available for care coaching. - The company is positioning the update as a blend of technology and human support, rather than a self-service tool alone. - “Medication management is about more than remembering to take a pill,” said Fabrizio Gambino, president of RPM Healthcare. “Our technology gives patients the tools to stay organized, but our nurse Care Coaches provide the education, guidance and human connection that technology alone cannot replace.”

What's next: - RPM Healthcare plans to use the feature to create more opportunities for education, questions and engagement between visits. - Patients will continue relying on nurse Care Coaches for help with setup and ongoing use of the medication tools. - The company is extending its remote patient monitoring platform with more support for chronic care management between clinical visits.

The bottom line: - RPM Healthcare is adding medication tracking to RPM365 in a way that links self-management tools with nurse oversight, aiming to improve medication accuracy and patient engagement.
