Remote Therapeutic Monitoring
At Pain Consultants of East Tennessee, we understand that chronic pain doesn’t stop when you leave our office. Symptoms can fluctuate, treatments may need adjustment, and important details are often missed between scheduled visits. That’s why we now offer Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) through our partnership with Adhere+—a secure, easy-to-use digital platform designed to help us stay connected to your care between appointments.
RTM allows patients to share meaningful updates about their pain levels, daily function, and overall progress through brief, convenient daily check-ins that take less than a minute to complete. These ongoing insights give your care team a clearer, real-time view of how you’re responding to treatment, enabling more personalized, proactive pain management and more focused, productive office visits.
What Is Remote Therapeutic Monitoring?
Remote Therapeutic Monitoring is a CMS-recognized care model that enables providers to monitor patient-reported health data between in-office visits. Instead of relying only on occasional appointments, RTM helps capture what’s happening day-to-day—where chronic pain truly lives.
With RTM, patients answer short, condition-specific questions (often in under a minute) using their smartphone or connected device. This information helps your provider better understand trends, progress, and challenges—without adding burden to your schedule.
Why RTM Matters for Chronic Pain Care
Chronic pain is complex, and symptoms can change quickly. RTM helps bridge the gap between visits by:
- Supporting continuous care, not episodic snapshots
- Encouraging greater engagement in your treatment plan
- Identifying concerns earlier—before they escalate
- Making in-office visits more focused and productive
