Telecare
Telemedicine or telehealth is a term given to offering remote care to people, providing the care and reassurance needed to allow them to remain living healthily in their own homes.
The use of wired or wireless medical sensors may be part of a package which can provide support for people with serious illnesses or people at risk of falling.
Most Telehealth services mitigate harm by reacting to untoward events and raising a help response quickly. Some Telecare, such as safety confirmation and lifestyle monitoring have a preventive function in that a deterioration in the Telecare user's well-being can be spotted at an early stage.
Telecare refers to the idea of enabling people to remain independent in their own homes by providing person-centered technologies to support the individual.
In one of its form, it can be referred to a fixed or mobile telephone with a connection to a monitoring centre through which the user can raise an alarm. Technologically more advanced systems use sensors, whereby a range of potential risks can be monitored.
