Costs to treat a growing population afflicted with obesity, chronic disease, and the elderly are growing at an alarming rate. Additionally, the difficulty of these patients in getting to the doctor’s office or clinic can be major to extreme. A solution may be to move patients out of the hospital to home, with remote monitoring of the patients. The benefit is that patients, particularly the elderly, tend to mend better in their homes, once the requirement for urgent critical or intensive care has passed. There is less chance of infection from secondary diseases due to extended stays in-hospital, and costs are reduced for both the patient and the insurance provider.
