Episode 1: The health industry creates and secures jobs

Easy-to-use measuring devices enable the patient to record important data about his or her state of health in everyday life. For example by a mobile ECG device or a blood pressure monitor. This gives him a direct overview of his state of health in everyday life. It is supported by an app, for example. At the same time, the data is forwarded to a telemonitoring office. All necessary measures are coordinated from there.

If the patient's measured values change suddenly and dangerously, this is immediately noticed in the telemonitoring centre, which is manned around the clock. The patient then receives a call or is contacted via a video connection. In this way, the patient receives instructions on how to behave and whether the centre must alert an emergency doctor.
