Telehealth in the Developing World

Monday, 01 June 2009 07:05

One for our bookstore? I'm still looking for recommendations, remember. Let me know what you think. The blurb says:

"Health care is primarily about people-to-people interactions. It is about understanding, diagnosis, physical contact, communication, and, ultimately, providing care. By bringing people together, telecommunication technologies have 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 healthcare professionals and providers.

This book aims to redress the relative lack of published information on successful telehealth solutions in the developing world. It presents real-life stories from Asia, Africa, and Latin America. It is rich in practical experience and will be of interest to health professionals, development workers, and e-health and telehealth proponents interested in learning about, or contributing to the implementation of, appropriate solutions for 80% of the world’s population."

Telehealth in the Developing World by Richard Wootton, Nivritti G. Patil, Richard E. Scott, and Kendall Ho (Paperback - Mar 30, 2009)
