Remote Patient Monitoring Leadership Summit 2026: Shaping the Future of Connected Care

The Remote Patient Monitoring Leadership Summit, hosted by ICD (International Conference Development), is one of the most anticipated healthcare gatherings of early 2026. Slated for February 26–27, 2026, in Charlotte, North Carolina, this summit will bring together healthcare executives, clinical leaders, innovators, and policy experts to define what’s next in remote patient monitoring (RPM), a rapidly evolving field transforming care beyond traditional settings.

As RPM programs become integral to value-based care, chronic disease management, patient engagement, and digital health strategy, this event offers timely perspectives on operational challenges, reimbursement trends, emerging technology, and real-world implementation.

Remote Patient Monitoring Summit Objectives

At its core, the RPM 2026 Summit aims to:

Explore operational and clinical strategies for expanding RPM programs at scale
Bridge policy, reimbursement, and practical implementation for connected care
Highlight innovation in technology, interoperability, and AI-driven insights
Foster collaboration between health systems, payers, and solution providers
Provide networking and knowledge-sharing opportunities for leaders shaping the future of remote care delivery

The event emphasizes real-world application and “building care outside the four walls” by integrating RPM into broader care ecosystems.

Featured Speakers & Thought Leaders

The Summit features high-profile contributors including:

Dr. David C. Rhew, Global Chief Medical Officer & VP of Healthcare, Microsoft — exploring the intersection of technology and clinical outcomes.
Jared Conley, MD, PhD, MPH — Associate Director of the Healthcare Transformation Lab at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Krista Drobac, Executive Advisor, Remote Monitoring Leadership Council & Executive Director, Moving Health Home.
Plus representatives from Mayo Clinic, Ochsner Health, Houston Methodist, and other leading organizations.

These speakers bring deep experience in scaling RPM, integrating digital solutions into care pathways, and aligning clinical strategy with policy and reimbursement frameworks.
