definition: Enables remote treatment of patients using monitoring devices, and two way communications between provider and patient or provider and provider. Promotes patient empowerment, self-determination and ability to maintain health status in the community. Promotes personal health, wellness and preventative care.

The same TV-internet connectivity allows her to get dietary and other health promoting information to assist her with managing her high-risk pregnancy.
