The demographic and economic development requires new ways to care for patients at home. The object of this thesis is the further development of a comprehensive eHealth approach for care of patients in their home environment. The feasibility of such an approach was based on an intensive literature search. It showed that telehomecare can have a positive impact on the health of chronically ill patients, at qual-ity of life and depression. Many parts are, however, regarding the existing evidence for a benefit of telehomecare still completely underrepresented. To summarize, we note that telehomecare as part of a comprehensive care approach may provide a valuable contribution to addressing these challenges. But there is an urgent need for further research.
