S2 E22: Home Sweet Home: How Technology is Revolutionizing Home Healthcare with Rasu Shrestha and Deborah Di Sanzo

The advantages of home health are many, including increased comfort and convenience and reduced risk of things like infection and readmittance for patients. 


Technology can be used to increase the success of home health by enabling remote patient monitoring and providing better communication and improved coordination of care between patients and healthcare providers. 


All of this can help provide savings for both the patient and the healthcare facility.
