Older Adults and Healthcare Professional's Experiences of Telemonitoring in Primary Home-Based Care in Sweden: A Feasibility Study.
Observational study in Clinical interventions in aging, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract
Introduction: Globally, the older population is rapidly increasing and might be a challenge for healthcare providers in the future. Therefore, new methods of providing home-based care are urgently needed. Telemonitoring (TM) has been proposed to optimize patient care and enhance remote monitoring and management by clinicians. This feasibility study aimed to describe the experiences and perceptions of home-based TM among older adults with chronic conditions and healthcare professionals (HCPs). Methods: A feasibility study including interviews with older adults and diaries written by HCPs during the intervention. Participants were recruited from two municipalities in central Sweden. The intervention involved home-based TM for 4 months. TM systems, equipped with sensors for monitoring blood pressure, body weight, physical activity, and oxygen saturation, were tailored to individual needs and installed in participants' homes by an IT company. Data were collected between 2023 and 2024 and analysed using deductive content analysis regarding demand, acceptability, implementation and practicality, to examine whether TM is feasible in real-life settings. Results: The data collection included 12 older adults and 21 healthcare professionals. From interviews with older adults (n=4), and diaries (n=9) from HCPs. Older adults measured their blood pressure every morning and entered the data on a tablet. They reported becoming more aware of changes in their health, particularly with body weight and blood pressure. For sustained engagement and motivation, a comprehensive education plan for TM involving patients, relatives, and HCP is essential. Conclusion: This study indicates that raising health awareness among older adults is positive and underscores the importance of person-centered care. However, some aspects were not fully realized in our study, highlighting the need for further research and refinement in TM implementation to better meet the needs of older adults and healthcare professionals.
