As the ageing population continues to grow, the number of chronically ill people with long-term conditions is also rising fast. 80% of GP consultations and 60% of hospital bed days now relate to long-term conditions (Source: The Long Term Conditions Alliance website) and due to the aging population, these figures are expected to increase over the next years.
Remote patient management technologies are the treatment investment of the future for patients who require ongoing care and support.
Bosch Telehealth Plus uses innovative technology to provide individualised medical care and advice to chronically ill patients. By connecting healthcare professionals to their patients, the system helps care providers identify the health needs of the patient at home to successfully control the treatment. This, in turn, can result in a better quality of life for the patient and helps to avoid costs that would have been associated with surgery visits, hospital treatment and emergency admissions.
