title: Increasing role of telehomecare in treating of neurological diseases.
abstract: Neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and stroke recovery, strike an estimated 50 million Americans each year, costing billions of dollars in medical expenses each year, not to mention the countless personal losses and the immeasurable emotional impact on families and patients that such diseases inflict. Due to the complex nature of neurological diseases, the treatment of these diseases often requires two types of care: neurological care and mental health care.
