Alternatives and Competition

There are a number of health care solutions for tele-health services and remote monitoring that are available in the market at present. It is necessary for the Tunstall tele-health solution to fulfill the following:

It will enable the patients to receive superior quality health care services at their respective home locations without any trouble to visit the medical centres (Hjelm, 2016).

The solution will also enable the medical centres and health care units to avoid the space requirements as these services can be provided by the health care professionals from any of the location.

These services can be availed by the customer at any hour of the day with a non-stop availability. This would increase the level of trust that the patients have in the medical services and will also keep a check on the day by day health condition of the patient (Nursingtimes.net, 2016).
