    Abstract

    Rapid developments in healthcare provision have occurred in parallel with the growth of communications and information technologies. The emergence of both sectors has resulted in the genesis of a new area of healthcare services for the community - commonly known as home telecare. Home telecare can be broadly defined as the use of information, communications and monitoring technologies to evaluate health status and social care, and deliver remote healthcare services directly to the user, generally in their homes.
