Healthcare cost crisis forces patient monitoring from clinics to homes

Heikenfeld argues that rising in-clinic labor costs and acute workforce shortages are structurally incompatible with centralized hospital-based monitoring, forcing healthcare systems to shift continuous patient surveillance to wearable home devices. This transition represents not incremental efficiency gains but a fundamental redesign of care delivery economics—where the economics of scarcity make remote monitoring not optional but inevitable.
