Three million patients will be cared for remotely with medical equipment that will monitor them at home and send the results back to their doctors.
David Cameron said the 'tele-health' drive will allow vital health checks to be carried out and sent electronically to GPs without the need for a patient to make an appointment or visit their surgery.
The scheme, which will be aimed at patients with chronic illnesses like heart disease and diabetes will be rolled out over the next five years.
