On September 21st, Business Week featured a special report on technologies that promote Aging in Place.  You can read the article at http://tinyurl.com/l7c6wh.  Home care agencies have been pioneers in the use of Telehealth technologies to keep patients health and comfortable in their homes, often despite reimbursement.  It's clear from the BW article that the benefits of Telehealth have not gone unnoticed.  Featured in the article are the likes of Intel, GE Healthcare, and Nintendo who all view the prospect of home health technologies for seniors as attractive markets.
