Telehealth refers to innovative and interactive technology that utilizes specially designed devices to collect biometric data from clients using their telephone lines. Electronic blood pressure cuffs, glucose meters, medication reminders and weight scales send information directly to registered nurses and social workers. Timely health readings can detect subtle changes in health or well being, identifying problems before they become emergencies.
