Trends in telehealth technologies have promoted a unique collaboration between nursing and biomedicalengineering faculty in a training program at the Catholic University of America. The goalof the program is to prepare future nurses and biomedical engineers to collaborate in providing improved health care services for the elderly living at home. Nursing faculty provide graduate biomedicalengineering students with information on nursing assessment, clinical foundations, and care of the elderly as a knowledge base to improve their designs of technology for this population. In return, undergraduate nursing students are given the opportunity to obtain a hands-on experience with new and emerging telehealth technologies in home care and to expand their therapeutic communication skills.
