TeleHealth

Chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease (e.g. arrhythmia and hypertension), chronic respiratory diseases (e.g. asthma and COPD), are by far the leading cause of mortality in the world, representing 63% of all deaths. Out of the 36 million people who died from chronic disease in 2008, nine million were under 60. Remote patient monitoring is an efficient and cost-effective solution to mitigate this problem. The key technology to facilitate wireless mobile healthcare or TeleHealth is cellular based M2M (machine-to-machine) communication. In this demo, we present a M2M Communication Module and its healthcare application developed at Turkcell Technology, Applied Research Lab.
