KangarooHealth provides plug-and-play RTM programs to track your patients' Home Exercise Program (HEP) compliance, and monitor progress, pain and mobility levels. Our RTM solutions are reimbursable by Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and commercial health insurance plans.

Improve patient outcomes

The KangarooHealth remote therapeutic monitoring platform tracks a patient’s disease activity and flares, boosts patient compliance in home exercise programs, and improves outcome collection. Monitoring can be done by our remote monitoring staff or your staff.

Identify early symptoms for timely triage

KangarooHealth RTM analyzes a patient's health changes (in pain, mobility, range of motion and functional status), identifies early warning signs, and generates tiered alerts. Patients are escalated as needed to your staff for timely triage.

Optimize patient engagement

KangarooHealth’s RTM program is different from telehealth–it is not event-based and closes care gaps that occur between provider visits with consistent monitoring and reliable communication. Your patients feel supported, and you gain actionable health insights.

Boost revenue and financial performance

Providers and qualified healthcare professionals, such as physical therapists (PTs), occupational therapists (OTs), clinical psychologists and registered dieticians, are able to offer and bill RTM services. Go live in less than two weeks.
