On 21st June the BMJ published a guest editorial by Car, Huckvale and Hermens (Josip Car is Drector, Global eHealth Unit, Imperial College). Telehealth for long term conditions is one of the best commentaries on the WSD results. “The uncertainties in defining terms like “telehealth” reflect broader difficulties in interpreting the complex interplay of technology, service designs, clinical input, and patient involvement…Telehealth does not just ‘work’ or ‘not work’. Particular interventions may be successful, but this depends on many factors…” It is paywalled in the BMJ but the Lupus Support organisation apparently has permission to publish it in full. Or here is a link to an online Word document version.
