In this segment of the YouTube interview, Jeff Langmaid asks about remote patient monitoring, prompting Speaker B to explain remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM) for chiropractors. The speaker defines RTM as the ability to track a patient’s progress, exercise adherence, pain patterns, and recovery outside of the brief in‑clinic visits (typically 20‑45 minutes). They highlight that traditional chiropractic assessments rely solely on subjective and objective findings captured during limited face‑to‑face time, whereas RTM extends observation beyond the office, offering a more continuous view of patient health. The discussion emphasizes that many chiropractors are unfamiliar with RTM, but it provides a “beautiful” way to see what happens after patients leave the clinic.

Chapters

Let's start at the top. I brought up the term remote patient monitoring. Many chiropractors may be totally unfamiliar with that term. What does it mean?
Yeah, so remote therapeutic monitoring, a lot of chiropractors actually have not heard of this, but it's pretty much the ability to monitor your patient's progress, exercise adherence, pain patterns, and recovery between visits. So a lot of times what we see is we have our patients come into our practice and we have our subjective findings, our objective findings, and they're only based on what we see in the clinic. But we only spend about, you know, either 20 minutes to 45 minutes with our patients inside, whereas remote therapeutic monitoring allows us to see outside of the clinic. And that, that's what's the beautiful part about remote therapeutic monitoring.
