Compliance Improved with Remote Monitoring

An oral presentation at the Symposium of Advanced Wound Care Spring 2018 in Charlotte, North Carolina, demonstrated increased patient therapy usage after contact through a remote therapy monitoring system. Use of iOn PROGRESS from KCI, an Acelity Company (San Antonio, TX), saw 73.5% of patients contacted increased therapy use for an average 8 hours. In addition, the rate of daily change in wound volume reduction also increased as adherence increased. The presentation was an extension of a recently published study in Wounds (HMP, Malvern, PA) that included 198 patients receiving negative pressure wound therapy at home.
