Telemedicine and telehealth development has brought hope to
developing countries and their most remote areas, yet leaves very
significant questions and anxiety among those hoping to maintain
status quo of current medical practices. When it comes to
telemedicine and its applications, most countries are actually in
the same boat. Even in the most developed countries' hospitals,
telemedicine is still not practiced. Advanced technology such as
computers, diagnostic imaging, robotics, voice activated machines,
and remote controls have changed the hospital and operating room
theaters around the western world. Essentially, geography and
distance have become abstract nouns and are meaningless in modern
times. At the same time, the world equilibrium has not followed the
punctuation of an industrial world directed by the broad bandwidth.
Nonetheless, the patient has become an educated and informed
consumer who questions the decisions of the practitioner and
demands explanations and evidence-based medical approaches. The
physician's expertise is validated through the Internet and other
forms and the patient insists on care that is up to current world
standards. This multiple author book, represents a serious attempt
to analyze the most important issues in the field of telemedicine
and telehealth. It presents concrete assistance to those who would
like to explore the possibilities of establishing telemedicine and
telehealth in their countries as well as those individuals who
would like to establish these programs in developing areas or in
countries that simply do not have existing telemedicine networks.
