Home-based e-health applications, including virtual visits and smart home technologies, support independent living for older adults. This paper reviews these applications and their implementation challenges.

Area of Science:

Gerontology
Health Informatics
Biomedical Engineering

Background:

Home-based e-health applications leverage telecommunication and videoconferencing for remote patient-provider communication, termed 'virtual visits'.
Commercial monitoring devices and internet connectivity facilitate home-based disease management and monitoring.
Smart home technologies are developed to support older adults' independence and manage healthcare costs by enhancing home safety and health monitoring.

Purpose of the Study:

To provide an overview of current home-based e-health applications.
To discuss the challenges associated with the implementation and evaluation of these e-health applications.

Main Methods:

Review of existing literature and technologies in home-based e-health.
