Rural healthcare faces significant challenges, with higher death rates and limited access to medical services. KangarooHealth is committed to supporting rural healthcare providers through innovative Remote Physiological Monitoring (RPM) technology.
On National Rural Health Day 2024, we celebrate the incredible dedication of healthcare professionals serving America's rural communities. At KangarooHealth, we recognize that true healthcare innovation starts with understanding and supporting the unique needs of rural healthcare heroes.
Understanding the Rural Healthcare Landscape
Rural America faces unique healthcare challenges that go far beyond geography. While 86% of U.S. land area is rural, these communities confront significant health disparities:
- Higher death rates (834 per 100,000 compared to 693 in urban areas)
- Greater prevalence of chronic health conditions
- Limited access to healthcare services
- Higher rates of uninsured populations
These challenges aren't obstacles but opportunities for innovative, compassionate solutions.
Technology as a Collaborative Partner
Our Remote Physiological Monitoring (RPM) technology is designed to work hand-in-hand with providers, careful not to replace their critical human touch. We're here to extend their reach, amplify their expertise, and support their mission.

At KangarooHealth, we support this effort, and are already helping providers deliver scalable, patient-centered RPM programs that improve access, reduce costs, and transform care delivery in rural communities.
Across the country, rural healthcare providers are proving something remarkable: that innovation doesn’t just belong in big-city hospitals or academic medical centers. It belongs in the quiet corners of America, where resilience is second nature, and where the stakes for access, connection, and continuity are higher than ever.
