Book: Home Telehealth



We've added a book to our virtual shelf on the right.

Home Telehealth
, published by the Royal Society of Medicine, is one of the first comprehensive reviews of the medical treatments that can now take place in the home thanks to advances in telemedicine technology, including disease management and wellness programs, home monitoring capabilities and the use of consumer electronics to connect patients and clinicians. This book also provides a practical guide to setting up a home care facility and remote interactions between patients and healthcare providers. Joseph C. Kvedar, director of Telemedicine for Partners HealthCare is an editor of this book.
