title: Early detection via telehealth: falls, infections, nutrition, dental.
abstract: The U.S. spends $2.3 trillion per year on health care, and economists warn that rising health care costs represent a serious threat to our long-term fiscal security. What is worse, according to the Congressional Budget Office, up to one-third of that spending--more than $700 billion--does not improve Americans' health outcomes.
