Labor productivity is a measure of economic performance that compares the amount of goods and services produced (output) with the number of labor hours used in producing those goods and services. Labor productivity is defined mathematically as real output per labor hour, and growth in labor productivity occurs when output increases faster than labor hours. Most countries have been able to produce more goods and services over time-not through a proportional increase in labor but rather by making production more efficient. These gains in productivity have led to increases in the GDP-based standard of living because the average hour of labor produced more goods and services.

Remote monitoring involves the regular, ongoing, accurate measurement of an individual's vital signs and other health measures and the transmission of this data to a healthcare provider.
