Does home telemonitoring improve clinical outcomes in patients with chronic diseases?
Home telemonitoring shows consistent clinical effectiveness in pulmonary and cardiac diseases and high patient compliance, though overall effects on patient conditions remain inconclusive.
Paré et al. (2007) conducted a systematic review in Chronic diseases (pulmonary conditions, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases). Home telemonitoring was evaluated on Clinical effectiveness outcomes and patient conditions. A systematic review of 65 studies found home telemonitoring had inconclusive effects on chronic disease outcomes, though reductions in hospital use were more consistent in cardiopulmonary conditions.
