TeleMedicine: Remote care for COPD and home respiration

09.08.2011

The aim is to further develop the outpatient care of patients using telematics methods - initially in the area of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Detailed project content

The care of patients with the help of modern telematics methods should enable continuous contact with doctors and nursing staff, also from home, and thus enable better care at reduced costs. Despite illness, patients should be able to remain in their familiar surroundings and still be under constant medical observation from central medical facilities.
