Using Telemedicine/Telehealth Technology to improve Healthcare - SECOND EDITION. The purpose of this book is to provide information about digital technology in telemedicine and some of the challenges associated with its implementation. Information about the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) has been added in Edition II. In our current healthcare system, many people are struggling to find affordable and adequate care. Costs continue to rise, and the growing physician shortage has led to long wait times to get care. Moreover hospitals and nursing homes harbor resistant bacteria and pathogens, thus apart from affordability, there are good reasons for providing health care of people in their homes.Telemedicine-based home medical care is achievable. The home of the future can be set up for continuous, real-time communication of the vital signs of its patient to the doctor's office or a clinic. The promise is immense, but some hurdles still remain.The 24-hour care concept of a Smart Home is particularly well suited for seniors, preserving their ability to stay in their home with telemedicine monitoring and safetyIf the medical industry embraced technology and starts promoting telemedicine, the health care of the future could look very different than it does today.While the clinical aspects of telemedicine have been studied broadly, the technical parts are not well understood. This book focuses on the technical aspects of telemedicine.
