A recent article in The New York Times Science Times by Daniela J. Lamas highlights a new trend in emergency room care: sending patients home. The goal is not to deny patient care. Rather, there is a growing understanding that home care in certain situations, may be the optimal way to care for patients. This new trend creates enormous opportunities for HealthTech entrepreneurs creating smaller, lighter, more mobile, and more patient-friendly equipment that can be used by patients, families, and home-care practitioners.
