ABSTRACT
In recent years, the area of telemedicine which uses digital technology to provide healthcare remotely has grown significantly. Eliminating health inequities worldwide, emphasizing patientcentered care, and using mixed models to include technology and conventional healthcare are some of the most important developing themes. With its astute use and creative ideas, telemedicine has the power to completely change the way healthcare is delivered, improving its quality and equity for all kinds of patients around the globe. These days, there are three main ways that telehealth may be delivered: over the phone, at home, or in the community. These models allow for the online tracking of elderly patients, improving their treatment and saving costs. Though previous research has looked at each of these service types, little is known about how older people feel about them or have used them. Participants said the community-based telehealth model with in-person sessions was the best and most useful program. Second and third place went to the models that were based on the phone and at home, respectively. The participants indicated that they needed regular health status checks, simpler access to their medical information from the past, useful training materials for managing their own health, and the creation and use of remote technologies for vulnerable older populations. Remote monitoring is also being utilized to address issues brought on by aging populations and chronic diseases, which is dramatically changing the way senior healthcare services are provided. This technology is more advantageous, lowers healthcare costs, and improves patient outcomes, especially for those with a higher risk of problems. While remote monitoring offers several benefits, its efficacy is contingent upon the implementation context and response.
