Living at home alone

Several months ago I had a minor heart attack and have since been diagnosed with heart disease. I currently live alone and ideally would like to stay living at home. I have family and friends fairly nearby, on whom I can rely for help. However, I have recently had chats with other elderly friends who have mentioned the benefits of telehealth. I would be interested in finding out more - can anyone provide me with some advice / information?

    I've just read an interesting story about a man in Liverpool who was using telehealthcare. It's a bit worrying as he was sent two phone bills, thought one was a duplicate, so ended up not paying one of his bills. As a result, his phone operator Virgin cut off his phone line, which meant that his health monitoring at home was also cut off. I'm wondering if this is a problem or a worry for other telehealthcare users?
