Sherene Schlegel, Executive Director of Telehealth Clinical Operations spoke at a mHealth Intelligence panel on digital health literacy, in particular, among underserved populations.

RPM requires patients to have access to various technologies, from connected scales to smart thermometers, as well as the knowledge of how to use them.
