    Abstract:
    The changes in the demographic structure, the increasing multi-morbidity in connection with a rise in the number of chronic illnesses and the absence of an effective coordination of the different levels of health care services with its discontinuous processes and redundancies will increase the economic burdens in the health care system. The latest developments and appropriate logistic premises nowadays offer a realistic basis for implementing telemonitoring as a central service and information tool as well as an instrument controlling the information- and data-flow between patient, hospital and medical practitioner.
