You don't need a video conference. Phone call is perfectly fine. I have a telehealth system for heart failure. It works quite well. If my numbers slide over a few days I will definitely be contacted. If it is an abrupt change in readings I will be contacted immediately. Sometimes it really is a misread which is now generally ignored for my circumstances because the person checking my readings have become familiar. For instance if my BP shows 99/60 one day and drops to 40/40 it will be ignored. If it drops to the 70 range I will get a call.
The system is incredibly easy to do but many people simply don't put the minimal effort in. I have one + a cardiomem and it takes me less than three minutes in the morning. The system works well and could be widely adapted for less serious conditions if people were not so lazy
