We switched our older RPM patients to cellular BP cuffs and pulse ox under a “one-button only” rule and a 5‑minute day‑3 call, and adherence jumped; pro tip: pre-label the power button with a bright sticker. It works well, but we cap alerts and review windows to dodge data spam, @telemedNP.

For remote derm consults, I ask patients to upload a photo with a quarter next to the spot for scale before the televisit; it’s sped things up and pairs nicely with the OP’s ‘dermatology-specific resources’ angle. I’ll sometimes share a quick reference like https://dermnetnz.org, but if lighting skews color or the lesion’s changing fast, I still bring them.
