“…ICT is being used to monitor, manage and motivate a new generation of healthcare for older people [2]. For example, sensors, related algorithms and attending call centers form the basis of 'smart home health' technologies providing families and formal caregivers with the capacity to remotely monitor the wellbeing of an older adult living at home [3]. Pervasive computing applications are available to predict a fall based upon a change in gait, rather than simply report a disaster after the often fatal event has occurred.…”

Advances in information communications technology and related computational power are providing a wide array of systems and related services that form the basis of smart home technologies to support the health, safety and independence of older adults. While these technologies offer significant benefits to older people and their families, they are also transforming older adults into lead adopters of a new 24/7 lifestyle of being monitored, managed, and, at times, motivated, to maintain their health and wellness. To better understand older adult perceptions of smart home technologies and to inform future research a workshop and focus group was conducted with 30 leaders in aging advocacy and aging services from 10 northeastern states. Participants expressed support of technological advance along with a variety of concerns that included usability, reliability, trust, privacy, stigma, accessibility and affordability. Participants also observed that there is a virtual absence of a comprehensive market and policy environment to support either the consumer or the diffusion of these technologies. Implications for research, policy and market innovation are discussed.

“…Results of a recent Healthways study demonstrated an association between patient participation in their diabetes DM programs and a measurable improvement in A1c testing. 14 Other studies in the DM literature also speak to the positive impact of diabetes DM on frequency of testing and promotion of healthy behaviors directed toward improved control of diabetes. [15][16][17] Less is known about which specific components of DM programs drive the improved outcomes.…”

“…The empirical findings from these studies are remarkably consistent in that all reported positive results, albeit based on only four studies. [35][36][37][38] The effects were measured in terms of reduction in use of service (decrease of 44% in rehospitalization among VHA patients receiving comprehensive case management). 37 In addition, there was evidence of increased adherence to periodic assessment 35 and average annual savings of $2,816 among patients using a Federally Qualified Health Center.…”

Objective: The research presented here assesses the scientific evidence for the telemedicine intervention in the management of diabetes (telediabetes), gestational diabetes, and diabetic retinopathy. The impetus derives from the confluence of high prevalence of these diseases, increasing incidence, and rising costs, while telemedicine promises to ameliorate, if not prevent, type 2 diabetes and its complications. Materials and Methods: A purposeful review of the literature identified relevant publications from January 2005 to December 2013. These were culled to retain only credible research articles for detailed review and analysis. The search yielded approximately 17,000 articles with no date constraints. Of these, 770 appeared to be research articles within our time frame. A review of the abstracts yielded 73 articles that met the criteria for inclusion in the final analysis. Evidence is organized by research findings regarding feasibility/acceptance, intermediate outcomes (e.g., use of service, and screening compliance), and health outcomes (control of glycemic level, lipids, body weight, and physical activity.) Results: Definitions of telediabetes varied from study to study vis-à-vis diabetes subtype, setting, technology, staffing, duration, frequency, and target population. Outcome measures also varied. Despite these vagaries, sufficient evidence was obtained from a wide variety of research studies, consistently pointing to positive effects of telemonitoring and telescreening in terms of glycemic control, reduced body weight, and increased physical exercise. The major contributions point to telemedicine's potential for changing behaviors important to diabetes control and prevention, especially type 2 and gestational diabetes. Similarly, screening and monitoring for retinopathy can detect symptoms early that may be controlled or treated. Conclusions: Overall, there is strong and consistent evidence of improved glycemic control among persons with type 2 and gestational diabetes as well as effective screening and monitoring of diabetic retinopathy.
