It stresses the complexity of RPM deployment as a digital health technology (DHT) and discusses essential features that developers and procurement managers should take into consideration in RPM systems to facilitate the implementation of integrated care practices. Furthermore, three major challenges for DHT implementation that align with the proposed RPM-based integrated care model are discussed: (1) the success of DHT in implementing a healthcare strategy requires elements of service innovation that align to the context of care delivery; (2) evidence generation methods influence the adoption of DHT and need an evolutive and multi-stakeholder perspective; (3) governance and policy strategies are crucial since they profoundly influence digital health priorities, investments, and resource allocation within organizations and healthcare systems. </span> https://www.ijhpm.com/article_4703_fa4ce9cf2f0d65b652641488ab4e287b.pdf
