Telehealth and Telemedicine is

Revolutionizing Health Care At Home

Telehealth and Telemedicine are relatively new concepts that are changing how health care is administered at home. Telehealth and telemedicine have similarities to telecare.

 

What is Telehealth?

 

Telehealth involves the use of modern technology to remotely monitor and manage your health condition without you needing to visit a medical centre or hospital.

 

Telehealth can help move the focus of care from hospitals into the home, preventing unnecessary trips to A&E and reducing hospitalizations of patients with chronic diseases.

 

Telehealth enables providers to intervene ahead of acute events such as a heart failure, and can also improve compliance with a patient’s treatment program, for instance with medication. In many cases the need for home visits can be reduced.

 

The technology can be used to help you self-manage your medical condition and medication while a telehealth nurse monitors the results of the readings from elsewhere for your peace of mind.

For example, if you were managing your diabetes the device you use to monitor your blood glucose level will also send the results automatically to the specific health care professional responsible for you. They can then analysis your readings and advise you if any changes to your treatment are necessary.

Other examples of telehealth include ECG heart monitoring, blood pressure monitoring and measuring and recording weight.

If the results and data received through these devices show areas of concern, or if you miss a scheduled monitoring appointment, then this is automatically recorded and reviewed by a telehealth nurse who will call you if necessary.
