1A. Will the increased use of these tele-health technology tools
be viewed as dehumanizing patient care, or will they be viewed as a
means to promote more contact with healthcare providers and new
ways for people to stay connected (as in online disease support
groups), thereby creating better long-term disease management and
patient satisfaction?
B. What types of resistance to new technologies might be evident
among patients, caregivers, and nurses? What evidence and
strategies might help to diminish these resistances?
