title: Medical devices in the home: present and future applications.
abstract: Putting together a comprehensive telehealth program is similar to putting together a puzzle. You have to fit all of the pieces together to see the big picture. An important piece of that puzzle is medical devices for telemonitoring. The equipment used in a telehealth program can span from low end, such as simply using a telephone; to high end, in which two-way audio-video systems are used with computer documentation, outcome software, and various medical device options.
