| Popis: | The latest developments in information and communication technology offer opportunities for the use and development of telemedicine in a number of medical specialities, as well as in other health and social care provision. This paper summarizes past developments in the discipline and pertinent telemedicine trial projects, as well as explaining the underlying technology. It suggests different approaches to healthcare provision in care of the elderly. Further research in the provision of telemedicine and telecare to benefit both the healthcare providers and the ageing population is suggested. Both information technology and healthcare professionals should ensure that the technology development is solution-driven rather than technology-driven. |
