The UK’s Department of Health’s Whole System Demonstrator (WSD)[3] dispatched in May 2008. It is the biggest randomized control preliminary of telehealth and telecare on the planet, including 6191 patients and 238 GP rehearses across three locales, Newham, Kent and Cornwall. The preliminaries were assessed by: City University London, University of Oxford, University of Manchester, Nuffield Trust, Imperial College London and London School of Economics.
