Research summary
The Health and Social Care system must identify and implement new ways of managing chronic disease within constrained resources. Technology has a role in supporting people with chronic illness but current evidence to guide decision-making is limited. Remote Vital Sign Telemonitoring may enable effective care but the mode of deployment varies and requires optimisation from the user, carer, practitioner, service and commissioner perspectives. Taken from an evaluative stance, this is an observational study of experienced Health Care Practitioners where Multiple Methods will be used in a broad based programme of enquiry. Both qualitative and quantitative data will be collected by means of a Service User questionnaire and one-to-one interviews with Health and Social Care Staff to explore and understand the factors required for effective deployment of Remote Vital Sign Telemonitoring.
