What is telemonitoring after discharge from hospital with heart failure?
Telemonitoring after discharge from hospital with heart failure is a type of remote monitoring that uses technology to monitor a patient's health status from a distance. It is typically used to track vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate, as well as other health-related data. The data is collected through a variety of devices, such as sensors, smart phones, and home monitoring systems, and is transmitted to a healthcare provider for review and analysis. Telemonitoring is used to improve patient care and outcomes, reduce hospital readmissions, and lower healthcare costs. Research has shown that telemonitoring can be a cost-effective way of managing heart failure patients after discharge from hospital. The cost-effectiveness of telemonitoring can be further improved by designing service models that are tailored to the needs of the patient.
