Cost effectiveness of telehealth for patients with long term conditions (Whole Systems Demonstrator telehealth questionnaire study); nested economic evaluation in a pragmatic, cluster randomised controlled trial

This study found that the quality adjusted life year gain by patients using telehealth in addition to usual care was similar to that by patients receiving usual care only, and total costs associated with the telehealth intervention were higher. It concludes that telehealth does not seem to be a cost effective addition to standard support and treatment.
