  • Discussion of the limitations associated with the proposed telemedicine system.
  • Proposal of future directions for patient-centric telemedicine development.

    • Main Results:

    • Increased patient involvement in healthcare management through a patient-centric approach can lead to significant benefits.
    • Potential benefits include improved patient compliance, reduced litigation, lower healthcare costs, and better health outcomes.
    • Home-based telemedicine highlights the need for a closer examination of patients' roles and rights in healthcare.

    Conclusions:

    • A patient-centric telemedicine model empowers patients, fostering greater control and responsibility in their healthcare journey.
    • Addressing ethical questions and ensuring patient rights are crucial for the successful implementation of telemedicine.
    • Further development and research are needed to optimize patient-centric home telemedicine databases and applications.
