title: Can telehealth help patients with COPD?
abstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a growing challenge for the NHS. New technologies, such as telehealth, offer opportunities for health and social care providers to look at innovative ways to manage the condition. Studies show telehealth services can reduce admissions and bed days, and boost patient satisfaction, but more research is needed to establish whether these technologies are safe, efficient and economical.
