Telehealth and 111 services will help health service organisations to reinvent themselves, according to the health secretary.

In July 2011, NHS Bristol awarded a £1.4 million contract to Safe Patient Systems to provide telehealth monitoring to patients with chronic conditions.

A program that provides hospital-like care in a patient's own home was 19% less expensive than treating patients in the hospital, according to researchers who tested the Hospital at Home model at a health system in New Mexico.

If you live in a remote area and need a specialist doctor, chances are there won't be one close by. But can a network of hi-tech terminals and online medics make the connection?

NHS patients in their 50s, 60s and 70s must be encouraged to use technologies like telehealth now in a health service which can no longer afford to deal with costly long term conditions in the same way, a senior Department of Health official has insisted.

Patients receiving telemonitoring along with high blood pressure management support from a pharmacist were more likely to lower their blood pressure than those not receiving extra support, according to research presented at the American Heart Association's Quality of Care and Outcomes Research Scientific Sessions 2012.
