Home care services are growing in recent years. Contemplating the pair of patients / family, represents a solution to the medical problems of modern life. With social trends, the elderly population has been increasing in recent years. However, as life is more stressful than ever, there are more cases of chronic diseases. Transportation difficulties in large cities and shortage of hospital beds make home care an attractive solution. However, their routines can be switched by telemedicine.
When appropriate health professionals can not be physically present to diagnose patients, telecommunication technology can be used to connect these professionals to those who need their expertise. In hospitals and homes, telemedicine has been shown to reduce the cost of health care and increase efficiency through better management of chronic diseases, shared health staff, reduced travel times and fewer hospital stays.
