E-health

Both healthcare technology and self-management are seen as possible solutions for the ageing population.
Healthcare technology is also applicable in acute care, for example remote monitoring of vital functions. It is used by both young people and older people. For example, the use of the internet in the Netherlands among older people was between 65% and 75% in 2012. Using healthcare technology and encouraging self-management are specific tasks that belong to the nursing and caring profession
