Stock Photo - 19 July 2019, Saxony-Anhalt, Halle (Saale): Pharmacist Ursula Gütle takes over the mobile phone of pensioner Norbert Neumann with the code for the digital prescription. From the point of view of a housing cooperative in Halle, telemedicine could be a great help, especially for older people. In a project in 20 apartments, 94 percent of the test persons rated the digital doctor's interview as very good or good. For the ""Haendel II"" project, 20 apartments were equipped with the appropriate technology. Subjects were able to reach a doctor via tablet. In addition, the apartments were equipped with sensors to detect critical situations, such as when the resident leaves the apartment at night or does not switch off the stove.
