Book Description

An introduction to the use of ICTs in medicine, particularly for those in rural or underserved areas, is provided in Fundamentals of Telemedicine and Telehealth. Telehealth is a new field that necessitates an updated knowledge of IT equipment and how to apply them to meet medical needs brought on by the proliferation of new technology and the expansion of internet access. The book covers issues such primary care and specialized applications, as well as the digitization of patient information, technology needs, current resources, and telehealth project design. In addition, it addresses how telemedicine can be used to promote patient autonomy and provide telecare in geographically dispersed settings.

This book, written by the IMIA Telehealth working group, is a great resource for grad students, healthcare professionals, researchers, and clinicians who are thinking about incorporating telehealth into their work.
