title: Case study: the use of telehealth  technology in a community setting.
abstract: Self-care is a great concept and telehealth can give any patient with a long term condition the confidence to understand and manage their health better. Patients are usually surprised at how small the equipment is and how easy it is to use. Giving patients control provides peace of mind and enables nurses to work more efficiently and effectively.
