Telehealth is the use of electronic sensors or equipment that monitor people's health in their own home/communities. So, for example equipment to monitor vital signs such as blood pressure, blood oxygen levels or weight. These measures are then automatically transmitted to a clinician who can observe health status without the person leaving their home environment. The clinician monitors daily readings to look for trends that could indicate deterioration in condition.
