    Over 3 million people in the US are hospitalized annually for serious infections, leading to high readmission rates regarded as indicators of poor care quality.

  • 2

    Remote monitoring has shown effectiveness in reducing readmissions for heart failure, but its impact on serious infections remains mixed or understudied.

  • 3

    The study utilized an adaptive design to evaluate the effectiveness of remote therapeutic monitoring for patients hospitalized for sepsis or lower respiratory tract infections.

  • 4

    The trial enrolled patients aged 21 and older, insured through UPMC Health Plan, and at moderate or high risk for readmission after hospitalization.

  • 5

    Patient-reported problems were monitored to capture early precursors to readmission, focusing on issues like medication nonadherence.
