During the COVID-19 pandemic, medical providers have expanded telehealth into daily practice, with many medical and behavioral health care visits provided remotely over video or through phone. The telehealth market was already facilitating home health care with increasing levels of sophistication before COVID-19. Among the emerging telehealth practices, telephysical therapy; teleneurology; telemental health; chronic care management of congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes; home hospice; home mechanical ventilation; and home dialysis are some of the most prominent. Home telehealth helps streamline hospital/clinic operations and ensure the safety of health care workers and patients. The authors recommend that we expand home telehealth to a comprehensive delivery of medical care across a distributed network of hospitals and homes, linking patients to health care workers through the Internet of Medical Things using in-home equipment, including smart medical monitoring devices to create a "medical smart home." This expanded telehealth capability will help doctors care for patients flexibly, remotely, and safely as a part of standard operations and during emergencies such as a pandemic. This model of "telehomecare" is already being implemented, as shown herein with examples. The authors envision a future in which providers and hospitals transition medical care delivery to the home just as, during the COVID-19 pandemic, students adapted to distance learning and adults transitioned to remote work from home. Many of our homes in the future may have a "smart medical suite" as well as a "smart home office."
