Abstract

This paper presents and discusses the Teleherence system that uses web and phone technology to optimize care plans. It uses text-to-speech and speech recognition along with landline, cell, smart, SMS (text messaging), and VOIP phone technology. Teleherence delivers surveys that can inform, remind, suggest, persuade, encourage/motivate, teach, reward, query and branches, and query and alert. Specific uses and considerations for use of Teleherence with the elderly will be discussed. Preliminary findings will be discussed at ICOST 2010.
