Telecare: technology used to monitor and communicate with patients in their homes, often helping elderly people to remain in their own homes rather than moving into residential care.
Telehealth: a broader term referring to healthcare supported through use of telecommunications. It can include allowing staff to work from their home or another location, letting one specialist assess stroke cases in several hospitals; allowing staff to work in a patient's home, through accessing their records; or sharing operations through videoconferencing.
