In rural and sparsely populated countries, telemedicine can be a
vital and life-saving link to health care, and in those regions
where demands on hospitals are ever increasing, it can provide a
safe and comfortable alternative to hospital-based therapy. The
second edition of this introductory guide to telemedicine and
telecare services is invaluable to new practitioners in this
growing field of medicine. The book describes the benefits of
telemedicine and highlights the potential problems. The authors
provide numerous examples of how telemedicine is used in the United
States, Australia, and Scandinavia.
Telecommunications bring the potential to improve both the quality
of and access to health care in the remotest areas of the
developing world. Telemedicine offers solutions for emergency
medical assistance, long distance consultation, administration and
logistics, supervision and quality assurance and education and
training for health-care professionals and providers. Telehealth in
the Developing World aims to balance the relative lack of published
information on successful telehealth solutions in the developing
world. It is written for all e-health and telehealth proponents
interested in learning about, or contributing to the implementation
of, appropriate solutions for 80% of the world's population. Topics
