Abstract
This report describes a detailed review of published scientific literature on the topic of Home Telehealth compliance, encompassing aspects of patient adoption and adherence. A total of 64 peer review published papers were selected as the most relevant representatives of state-of-the-art contributions to the topic, and compliance findings presented in these papers are summarised here. Some common characteristics for studies selected were identified: they were mainly under 12 months in duration, with widely varying sample sizes, and typically 60-70% of participants were over 50 years of age and male. In general, there was good adherence/compliance at the start of a study that steadily dropped off over time, most rapidly in the period immediately after the start. Some overall observations of common themes across the range of papers are provided in conclusion.
