Telemedical applications like TeleTherapy, TeleRehabilitation, TeleMonitoring TeleCardiology, and TeleCoaching will continuously expand according to the wide range of use in young and elderly people as well as for the area of Ambient Assisted Living. Today, telemedicine already plays an integral part of primary health care provision.

With Telemedicine, it is easier for elderly people to live an independent life at home. Telemedicine is a valuable addition and support to individual patient care.
