Patients with chronic disorders can receive health services at home using tablets or mobile sensor technologies for distant monitoring.

Health personnel monitor the measurements via a response centre service. The technology allows the health personnel to guide the patient and take action when needed.

The service for digitally following up patients at home is often given and organized by the municipalities, and the target group is chronically ill patients. In order for the patient to receive digital at-home follow-up, they must have a medium to high risk of deterioration, or that there is a high chance of being admitted to a hospital again. Another inclusion criterion is a general need for health and care services.

Mobile health tools (“m-health”) also include technologies as apps and sensors. However, these technologies can be used by anyone, and are not distributed or organised by the health services. However, many of these technologies are not regulated or organised by the healthcare services. However, patients with chronic diseases can receive health services at home using mobile (e.g., tablet, smartphone) and/or sensor technologies for remote monitoring provided and organised by the municipalities. Patient are eligible to receive digital follow-up at home when they are at high risk of deterioration or of being admitted to hospital again.

A patient may also receive specialist health services at home from a general practitioner or the hospital through video consultations and various forms of online treatment.
