- Pilot project to assess how patients with chronic conditions may benefit from using Bosch Telehealth Plus System -
Robert Bosch Healthcare — a leader in telehealth —
The Netwell project will demonstrate how a telehealth system may help patients better understand their chronic illness and motivate them to change their behaviour to improve self-management of their condition. Forty older patients who have either congestive heart failure (CHF) or diabetes are participating in the trial, and a quarter of them will serve as a control group. The main group will use the Bosch patient interface in their home for a period of 90 days. The project has been enabled by the close cooperation of specialist clinical teams in the Health Services Executive within Louth County.
