Remote health monitoring uses digital technologies to provide home-based care and reduce the need for hospital-based treatment.
Patients and service users
For patients and service users, remote health monitoring technologies and care plans assist in better self-care, self-awareness, and building confidence to handle common exacerbations from home.
Health care providers
For health care providers, remote health monitoring technologies can provide clinical data in real-time to inform care and support managing chronic conditions.
Remote health monitoring solutions assist in caring for people with medical and social needs in the community, reducing hospital admissions and aiding early discharge.
The National Telehealth Steering Committee aims to develop clinically-appropriate remote health monitoring solutions nationally.
