Te Aka Whai Ora has invested $2.3 million into four whānau-led pilots in remote rural areas to test the effectiveness of remote patient monitoring (RPM) in achieving improved hauora outcomes and reduced rates of hospitalisation and visits to emergency departments for whānau living with long term conditions.
