In the first 50 years of this century, the proportion of the world's over 60 population is forecast to grow from about 16% to 25% – correlating with a marked growth in chronic diseases such as Alzheimer's, diabetes and cancers. With rising healthcare system costs and a shortage of physicians, home care is expected to be grow rapidly.
Home care, or home healthcare, is the at-home care provided to a person with special needs, including people who are ageing, chronically ill, recovering from surgery, or disabled. When a patient is relocated from a hospital to his/her home, sensors are required to maintain the same level of care quality with fewer human involvement. They are vital replacements for specific applications usually performed by nurses, such as guaranteeing the patient's comfort, ensuring their safetyClass X capacitors are used in "across-the-line" applications where their failure would not lead to electric shock. Class X safety caps are used between the "live" wires carrying the incoming AC current. In this position, a capacitor failure should not cause any electrical shock hazards, rather, a capacitor failure "between-the-lines" would usually cause a fuse or circuit breaker to open., monitoring body parameters and treatments, and drug delivery. Sensors for home care cover five segments, smart drug delivery, patient safetyClass X capacitors are used in "across-the-line" applications where their failure would not lead to electric shock. Class X safety caps are used between the "live" wires carrying the incoming AC current. In this position, a capacitor failure should not cause any electrical shock hazards, rather, a capacitor failure "between-the-lines" would usually cause a fuse or circuit breaker to open., diagnostics, continuous patient monitoring and patient comfort, with current and future medical devices and their related sensors detailed for each segment.

ICT is increasingly important for home care applications, providing accessibility to healthcare for home-based patients with chronic illness. Despite being increasingly used in healthcare in recent years, inter-country efforts have become fragmented and could benefit from improved cross-border coordination. Yole Développement analysts describe how ICT systems work, the benefits and drawbacks to using it in home care, and the remaining challenges.
