With the increasing ageing population and chronic disease sufferers, this presents a challenge in the field of healthcare delivery. This gets worse with the decline of workforce in healthcare sector and increasing medical cost. Awareness of this situation has led several developed country to implement telecare in easing the problems faced. Malaysia as a developing nation will also face similar challenges in the future. Thus, this paper presents a preliminary study on several factors contributing to the need of telecare technology. Preliminary findings indicate an early sign that the country is also heading towards a similar development as those experienced by the European countries. In the future, it is worth to note that telecare can be an alternative option to counter the adverse effects of increasing ageing population. 2014-04-27T15:17:10Z 2014-04-27T15:17:10Z 2008 Book chapter 4th Kuala Lumpur International Conference on Biomedical Engineering 2008, vol. 21, 2008, pages 862-866 978-3-540-69138-9 (Print) 978-3-540-69139-6 (Online) 1680-0737 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/34100 10.1007/978-3-540-69139-6_213 http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-3-540-69139-6_213 en Springer Berlin Heidelberg
