内容説明

Home Telehealth is the provision of high-quality care delivered by telecommunications to patients at home. It enables doctors and nurses to see, hear and talk to patients, take their vital signs and even conduct biochemical tests - all at a distance. The application of home telehealth allows for greater efficiency, increasing access to patients in remote regions at a lower cost and can also reduce hospitalisations. Home Telehealth: Connecting Care Within the Community demonstrates how medicine can be applied to homecare and challenges clinicians to consider it in their everyday working practice. This book addresses the evidence-base, the techniques, applications and future implications. It draws together a wide range of topics, including smart homes, wound management, fall monitoring, quarantine applications, chronic disease management, child monitoring, home health monitoring and home dialysis. Written by experts from four continents, this book provides an informative and comprehensive review of best practice in the field. It should prove invaluable for medical practitioners of all kinds, for nurses, health service managers and IT staff.
