Abstract

Conventional health practices have been more costly to the health. Remote monitoring in the prevention and control of chronic noncommunicable diseases is a way to reduce costs. Thus, the main motivation of this study was to analyze the economic results of the use of the Remote Monitoring System in obese children. The objective was to evaluate the economic impact of remote monitoring of obesity, and it is based on direct costs compared to the conventional health care system. The methodology was based on the accounting data, in which the direct costs of the care and procedures of health professionals were calculated. The results obtained from the costs of caring for 150 children were the following: costs with remote monitoring of US $ 7,689.00 and conventional health practices of US $ 11,169.00. It is concluded that remote monitoring presented cost reduction and generated savings. In the long run it can present social and economic results for health, and to the government.
