This article presents the results of a case study on a telemedicine service implemented by Belluno Hospital’s geriatrics department at a nursing home in a mountainous location. It highlights the challenges involved in caring for elderly people who are unable to care for themselves in disadvantaged areas. Drawing on observations of the service, organisational documentation, and 16 indepth interviews with all relevant stakeholders, the analysis discusses the added value of the service for guests and nursing home operators. It also considers the preconditions and challenges of using telemedicine to reduce care inequalities for nonselfsufficient elderly people in remote areas.
Keywords: telemedicine; telemonitoring; inner areas; health inequalities; gerontology; nursing home.
