Forbes has an interesting post on home health care and the future of taking care of the elderly in their own homes.

I believe this is a coming trend, mainly because it will be too expensive to care for our aging parents in hospitals or nursing homes.

High tech will be involved with new devices that monitor older seniors for diabetes, chronic heart failure, lung problems, and other health conditions.

Will all this work?  

General Electric and Intel believe in it enough to be investing $250 million in a joint project.  That's a lot considering today's economy.
