AultCare/Cardiocom® White Paper Shows Telehealth Services Reduce ER Visits and Inpatient Stays for Patients
Telemonitoring systems help patients with chronic heart disease and diabetes monitor their condition and alert patients and their healthcare providers to signs of problems before it's too late.
