Telemonitoring reduces mortality and is acceptable to patients with chronic conditions; reinforces its role as alternative to usual care while leaving open concerns on hospitalization and quality of life.
Does telemonitoring reduce mortality and improve physiological values in patients with long-term conditions compared with usual care?
Telemonitoring is a valid alternative to usual care for managing chronic conditions, significantly reducing mortality and improving blood pressure and glycemic control.
