8. Telehealth Telecare describes any service that brings health and social care directly to a user (generally in their homes) supported by information and communication technology. Eg. motion or falls monitors that trigger a warning to a response centre. Telehealth is part of this, but relates specifically to remote monitoring of a person’s vital signs, including blood pressure, weight and blood glucose. Telemedicine allows clinical consultations remotely, often by video conference.
