What aspect did patent applications filed in the 2010s for RPM systems heavily focus on innovating?

Software and methodology of handling the data streams

By the time patent applications were being filed extensively in the 2010s regarding remote patient monitoring systems, the underlying hardware components had become sufficiently standardized. This maturity in hardware allowed innovation to pivot toward managing the influx of data. These later patents emphasized the software and methodology required to efficiently process and handle continuous data streams. A key element described was the design of systems engineered to actively alert providers based on specific, threshold-crossing readings, signifying that the innovation goal had moved past mere data collection toward ensuring actionable insights derived from continuous data.
