Remote Patient Monitoring that Delivers Vitals in Real Time
PubNub gives your team a HIPAA-compliant real-time data backbone for remote patient monitoring—so you can launch faster, intervene earlier, and scale Hospital-at-Home with confidence.
Key Benefits
Connect Any Device, App, or EHR
One backbone for all RPM data.
Benefit
Ingest data from diverse wearables, route it through edge logic, and fan out to clinician apps, caregiver portals, and integration layers—without point-to-point custom builds for each vendor.
Reliability for Life-Critical Workloads
Platform built for always-on care.
Benefit
PubNub’s architecture is designed for high concurrency and continuous uptime, so Hospital-at-Home and RPM programs aren’t exposed to single-region outages or fragile polling-based systems.
Predictable Economics at Scale
Align cost with RPM growth.
Benefit
Model spend using clear drivers like monitored patients and data frequency. Use lightweight signals for high-frequency vitals to control bandwidth and avoid surprise bills as adoption grows.
When your infrastructure lags, patients pay the price
Your wearables capture every heartbeat, but your infrastructure delivers it late—or not at all.
Polling and brittle WebSockets create blind spots where decompensation goes unnoticed, readmissions spike, and clinicians lose trust in virtual wards.
You need RPM infrastructure that’s as reliable as the care decisions it informs—without consuming your entire engineering roadmap.
Why digital health leaders choose PubNub for RPM
Move from fragile, one-off integrations to a durable, healthcare-ready real-time backbone for all remote patient monitoring initiatives.
PubNub vs. DIY WebSocket Infrastructure
Avoid months building and tuning real-time systems. PubNub offloads scale, failover, monitoring, and compliance so engineers focus on clinical innovation.
PubNub vs. Monolithic RPM Platforms
Skip vendor lock-in. PubNub powers your own RPM product, connecting any device, algorithm, or EHR with full control of experience and roadmap.
CASE STUDY
How PubNub Supports Always-On Monitoring for Vulnerable Populations
An assistive care provider used PubNub to connect in-home IoT sensors, tablets, and mobile apps for continuous monitoring and real-time support. By relying on PubNub for connectivity, messaging, and access control, their team focused on care workflows and safety protocols instead of maintaining real-time infrastructure—improving reliability for high-risk patients while preserving engineering capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does PubNub support remote patient monitoring?
PubNub provides the real-time data infrastructure between RPM devices, clinical dashboards, and backend systems. Wearables publish vitals to PubNub channels; Functions can normalize data and trigger alerts; Presence shows which devices are online; and history provides an auditable record of readings and events.
Is PubNub suitable for HIPAA-regulated remote patient monitoring?
Yes. PubNub supports HIPAA-compliant implementations, including encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and Business Associate Agreements (BAAs). Our security and compliance documentation helps your InfoSec and Legal teams complete reviews efficiently.
How does PubNub improve RPM time-to-market?
Instead of building and operating your own real-time infrastructure, your team integrates PubNub SDKs and configures edge logic. That removes months of work on WebSockets, scaling, failover, and monitoring, allowing you to focus on clinical workflows, algorithms, and EHR integration.
Can PubNub integrate with our existing EHR and analytics stack?
Yes. PubNub acts as the streaming layer between devices and your systems of record. You can forward selected events to existing APIs, queues, or data lakes, and use PubNub metadata and history to enrich what you store in your EHR or analytics platforms.
How do we control access to patient data streams?
With PubNub Access Manager, you issue scoped, time-bound tokens that define exactly which channels (patients, wards, programs) a user or service can read or write. This enables role-based access, tenant isolation, and strict PHI governance across RPM and Hospital-at-Home programs.
What is the typical adoption path for PubNub in digital health?
Most organizations start with a single RPM or Hospital-at-Home use case, validate performance and workflows, then expand to additional conditions, service lines, and regions. Over time, PubNub becomes the shared real-time backbone across virtual care, patient engagement, and operational dashboards.
