title: Virtual house calls: legal challenges to remote caregiving.
abstract: Medicine in the digital age requires new thinking to bring cost-effective and quality medical care to patients in home settings. Along with the promise of remote treatment advances come many challenges relating to technology, regulation, and the building of new virtual teams and social structures to support the remote environment. For remote caregiving to succeed, the legal and ethical issues of home monitoring and ubiquitous computing must be addressed side-by-side with the technology advances.
