Telecare services enable the elderly, vulnerable or
infirm to live safely, happily and independently in their
own homes, whilst maintaining a better quality of life and
avoiding admission to institutionalised care or hospital.
Telecare services embody technologies and services ranging from sensors
placed in the home, providing links to emergency response,
through to lifestyle monitoring and telehealth (remote
monitoring of vital signs for diagnosis, assessment and
prevention).
The Telecare 2007 event will consist of an exhibition
with supporting keynote and case history presentations.
The exhibition will cover the telecare/telehealth
technologies and medical devices available now, offering telecare solution
providers the opportunity to showcase the use of their
products and services. All exhibitors will have the chance
to include a speaker within the case history programme.
The case history programme comprises two streams.
Specially invited keynote speakers will also participate in
the event.
