Benefits
Feedback from patients already using telemonitoring has been very positive. Here are some of the benefits they have experienced:
- added peace of mind that their condition is being monitored;
- greater understanding of their condition and how to manage it;
- greater freedom to get on with their day-to-day lives without the fear that their condition is deteriorating;
- less risk of unplanned admissions to hospital;
- less need to have contact with a clinician if their condition is stable;
- reduced anxiety for their carers and family.
