Welcome to InteleHealth

Providing informal care for an elderly relative is becoming an increasingly important aspect of day-to-day life for working Americans. There have been significant advances in the areas of telehealth and telemonitoring, and the most vulnerable members of our society have benefited greatly from these advances.

Until now, remote monitoring has been viewed as a tool for professional caregivers – expensive, complex and utilized during a rehabilitative episode.

Until now, informal caregivers have been largely ignored - left to their own to manage the stress associated with raising a family, holding a job and caring for an elderly relative.

Until now, family caregivers have not received the benefit of advancements in monitoring tools and services.

Until now.

InteleHealth - Empowering independence

InteleHealth is dedicated to providing informal caregivers with the appropriate tools to assist them in navigating through the stress of daily living. Making it easier for the caregiver to obtain more frequent wellness information and communicate with an elderly care recipient is at the core of InteleHealth’s corporate mission.

This information and the enhanced ability to communicate with the elderly care recipient empowers all affected family membrs to live more independently.

InteleHealth - Staying connected

InteleHealth does more than provide wellness information about the care recipient. Much more. A person aging independently, in place, often feels isolated, cut off from their family. InteleHealth helps to overcome this lack of connectedness by providing the elderly recipient with a variety of communications tools that keeps an elderly person plugged into the happenings in their family.

Staying connected with their families contributes directly to a person’s well being. Isn’t that what aging independently is all about?

InteleHealth - Connecting Lives

InteleHealth is focused on advancing the partnership between the caregiver and recipient. Providing wellness information and enabling easy, effective communications capabilities are the basic tools provided by InteleHealth to enable a collaboration in care between the caregiver and their elderly relative.
