Funding Amount
$325,255.00
Summary
Care of the aging population will place a huge burden on the Australian healthcare system. It is now possible for health services to be provided across the Internet (telehealth) into the aged person’s home. The problem is there has been a slow uptake of telehealth services. What is needed is a clear understanding of aged consumers’ perspectives on telehealth and why they would engage in such services. These findings will assist in planning health care services for the aged into the future.

Summary
Pulmonary rehabilitation is a highly effective treatment for people with the chronic lung disease known as COPD, but in Australia it is delivered to less than 1% of those who would benefit each year. This study will test a new, entirely home-based pulmonary rehabilitation model, and compare its benefits and costs to a standard hospital program. If home-based pulmonary rehabilitation can be delivered successfully at low cost, this will improve the health and quality of life of people with COPD in ....Pulmonary rehabilitation is a highly effective treatment for people with the chronic lung disease known as COPD, but in Australia it is delivered to less than 1% of those who would benefit each year. This study will test a new, entirely home-based pulmonary rehabilitation model, and compare its benefits and costs to a standard hospital program.
