Do you know anyone working to manage diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or another chronic condition? Ever wonder if home telehealth could be helpful or worry that it’s overhyped?
The results of a CIHR-funded knowledge synthesis on home telehealth in chronic disease management have been published in the April 2014 issue of the peer-reviewed Journal of Telemedicine and eHealth. Principal investigator Dr. Sandra Jarvis-Selinger and lead researcher Alison Jones worked with a team of decision makers identified through the BC Alliance on Telehealth Policy and Research to develop priority questions and to define the scope of the project. The resulting summary of the evidence on home telehealth for chronic disease management can be accessed online. Link: http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/pdfplus/10.1089/tmj.2013.0249
