Abstract :
Home telehealthcare technologies can enable care services to be delivered to persons more easily and frequently than is possible using conventional channels. Certain design issues greatly impact on the efficacy of the use of the technology, however, one of these being ease of use. Provision of cardiorehabilitation service delivery in the home is described as an example of possible applications of telerehabilitation to extend and improve patient care
