Abstract
To assess if remote patient monitoring (RPM) programs for chronic conditions are positioned to advance equity through inclusive practices, 119 papers were evaluated against 11 multi-level equity parameters. Equity parameters were inconsistent and incompletely reported suggesting assumptions are being made about the inherent equitability of RPM solutions. Reporting guidelines should include how RPM programs address inclusive strategies. A validated monitoring tool is needed to quantitatively assess equity progress and gaps.
