The Core Biometric Trio (Blood Pressure, Oxygen, and Weight)
The most common telehealth kits provided to patients in 2026 include three primary Bluetooth-enabled devices. These are the workhorses of Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) for chronic conditions like hypertension and heart failure.
Smart Blood Pressure Cuffs: Unlike manual pumps, these automatically sync readings to an app. In 2026, many feature "irregular heartbeat detection" and "vascular age" estimations.
Digital Pulse Oximeters: Small finger-clip sensors that measure blood oxygen saturation ($SpO_2$) and heart rate. They are vital for monitoring respiratory recovery (e.g., post-COVID-19 or COPD).
Bluetooth Scales: These track weight fluctuations that could indicate fluid retention—a critical early warning sign for patients with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF).
