"Recently, my current employer implemented remote patient monitoring. I had to learn how to use the software and integrate it into our current system. I also had to learn how wearable devices worked. I was in charge of educating the patients on the devices and getting them set up in the online patient portal. I found the experience fascinating and am amazed how my patients are getting better outcomes with this technology."
