Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis explores the effectiveness of telehealth in managing chronic diseases in elderly patients. The global population is aging rapidly, leading to an increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases among the elderly. Telehealth has emerged as a promising solution to provide healthcare services remotely, especially for individuals with chronic conditions who may have difficulty accessing traditional healthcare services. This study aims to investigate the impact of telehealth on managing chronic diseases in elderly patients and to assess its effectiveness in improving health outcomes and quality of life. The research begins with a comprehensive literature review that examines existing studies on telehealth interventions for chronic disease management in elderly populations. The literature review highlights the potential benefits and challenges of telehealth in this context, providing a foundation for the current study. The methodology section outlines the research design, data collection methods, and analysis techniques employed to evaluate the effectiveness of telehealth interventions in managing chronic diseases in elderly patients. Findings from the study are discussed in detail in the results section, presenting key insights into the impact of telehealth on disease management, patient satisfaction, and healthcare outcomes. The discussion delves into the implications of the findings, addressing the potential benefits of integrating telehealth into chronic disease management strategies for elderly patients. The conclusion summarizes the main findings of the study, highlighting the significance of telehealth in improving healthcare access and outcomes for elderly individuals with chronic diseases. Overall, this thesis contributes to the growing body of research on telehealth and chronic disease management by focusing specifically on its effectiveness in elderly populations. The findings offer valuable insights for healthcare providers, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance the delivery of healthcare services for elderly patients with chronic conditions through innovative telehealth solutions.

Thesis Overview

The research project titled "Exploring the Effectiveness of Telehealth in Managing Chronic Diseases in Elderly Patients" aims to investigate the potential benefits and challenges associated with utilizing telehealth services to manage chronic diseases in elderly individuals. This study seeks to address the growing need for innovative healthcare solutions to cater to the complex healthcare needs of the elderly population, particularly those with chronic conditions. The project will begin with a comprehensive literature review to explore existing research on telehealth interventions for chronic disease management, focusing on studies that specifically target elderly patients. By synthesizing and analyzing the current body of knowledge, the research aims to identify gaps in the literature and establish a strong theoretical foundation for the study. The research methodology will involve a mixed-methods approach, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. Surveys and interviews will be conducted with healthcare providers, elderly patients, and telehealth experts to gather insights into the effectiveness of telehealth interventions in managing chronic diseases in the elderly population. The quantitative data will be analyzed using statistical techniques, while the qualitative data will be thematically analyzed to identify key themes and patterns. The findings of the study will be presented in a detailed discussion, highlighting the strengths and limitations of telehealth interventions in managing chronic diseases in elderly patients. The research will also explore the implications of the findings for healthcare policy and practice, aiming to provide valuable insights for healthcare providers, policymakers, and researchers in the field of telehealth and geriatric care. In conclusion, this research project seeks to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on telehealth and chronic disease management in elderly patients. By exploring the effectiveness of telehealth interventions, the study aims to provide evidence-based recommendations to improve the quality of care and outcomes for elderly individuals with chronic conditions.
