This Chapter aims to present the activities of the Telemedicine Laboratory of the Microgravity Centre/PUCRS (Brazil) and to discuss eHealth initiatives around the globe, emphasising the benefits of the use of telecommunication and computer technologies in remote and deprived areas, where specialised medical care is limited or non-existent. Based on the experience of this Lab in the areas of eResearch, eLearning and eHealth Assistance, a review of virtual tools used in academic activities and of telemedicine endeavours applied for the identification and treatment of a broad range of diseases worldwide is presented. Relevant eHealth terminology is also introduced to help the reader gain a better understanding of the concepts described in this text. |
