Pain surveys by text message
The core RTM signal: patient-filled symptom surveys, tracked over time in the dashboard. The patient opens a direct link and answers on their phone, with no dashboard to navigate.
In real life
It's just a text message.
A direct link, filled on the patient's phone: one question per card, big touch targets, and a clear submit. Every submission counts as a data-collection day.
How surveys flow
From a text to a billable month.
Low friction is the whole strategy: a survey that takes 20 seconds is a survey that actually gets filled out.
A Plain Text Arrives
The patient gets a text with a direct survey link. No app, no login, nothing to install.
One Question Per Card
The survey is built for a phone: big touch targets, an optional comment, and submit stays disabled until the question is answered.
The Day Counts
The submission lands as today's data-collection day. 16 days unlocks 98975 and 98977; treatment time bills 98980 and 98981.
The engine supports more than pain.
Submitted surveys land in a table you can open: survey, created, score, and a view that shows the full question-and-answer with comments. Active Screenings toggles which surveys a patient receives. Today the library is a 0-10 Pain Survey; the engine supports more.

Self-Reported Data
Unlike RPM, RTM accepts patient-reported outcomes collected through FDA-cleared software. Pain scales, symptom surveys, and therapy logs all qualify as valid data sources.
Digital Therapeutics
Software-based monitoring expands beyond hardware devices. FDA-cleared mobile apps, digital therapeutics platforms, and patient-facing survey tools all qualify as RTM devices.
A Growing Survey Library
The engine supports more surveys than today's Pain Survey; new screenings drop into the same flow.
On the platform
One platform, eleven device categories.
Pain Surveys is one piece. Cellular scales, glucose meters, pulse oximeters, sleep sensors, and more all feed the same dashboard, the same alerts, and the same billing engine.
