Power to the patients.
A telehealth service in Cornwall is allowing patients to monitor their long-term conditions at home and send updates to a team of nurses, ensuring that any sign of deterioration triggers early intervention. The service has reduced hospital admissions, put patients in charge of their own health, and increased job satisfaction for nurses.
