Abstract

Results of this rapid review highlight the breadth of RMTs being used to monitor and inform treatment of COVID-19, the potential benefits of using these technologies, and existing barriers to their use. Results can be used to prioritize further efforts in the implementation of RMTs (eg, developing "best practice" guidelines for use of RMTs and generating strategies to improve equitable access for marginalized populations).
