Moving low-risk patients out of hospitals and back into their homes has been a goal of the health care system for some time. Studies have shown that patients who placed back into their home recover faster and the beds they this relocation frees up in hospitals can be used to better treat high risk patients. Still, low-risk patients moved back into their homes require medical supervision ensure they become no risk patients or at least remain low risk. Costs prohibit providing care worker supervision for in-home patients 24/7 and patients can go weeks without in-home visits by professionals. Mobile medical technology offers one solution for providing in-home patients with better service while reducing the need for care-worker visits.
