‘Popular Science’ names Remote Patient Monitoring program a Top 50 Innovation of 2025

Dear Colleagues,

I’m thrilled to share that Popular Science has named UC Davis Health’s Remote Patient Monitoring program one of the 50 greatest innovations of 2025.

The Remote Patient Monitoring program helps patients manage hypertension at home and achieve real, measurable improvements. On average, participants reduced their blood pressure from 150/80 mmHg at enrollment to 125/74 mmHg—progress many continue to maintain after they graduate.

How the program works

• Patients use connected blood pressure cuffs to securely share readings from home.
• A multidisciplinary Population Health team—physician, pharmacist, nurse, and medical assistant—monitors data in real time and adjusts care plans.
• The team provides group classes, one‑on‑one coaching and medication support.
• The program lasts six months, with the option to extend up to one year to reach personal goals.

Advancing our mission

This is innovation in service of equitable, accessible, patient‑centered care. By bringing high‑quality support into people’s homes, we reduce avoidable hospital visits and help our community live healthier lives.

Congratulations to the Remote Patient Monitoring, Population Health, and Ambulatory Operations teams along with our vital partners in IT and the Connected Care Center. Your dedication embodies our promise to “Believe in Better.”

With gratitude,

Reshma Gupta, M.D., M.S.H.P.M.
