Telemedicine services have become common in healthcare and health institutes and here we breakdown some of the differences among telemedicine, telehealth and e-health.

1. Breakdown Of The Differences Among
Telemedicine, Telehealth And E-health

2. TELEMEDICINE
 Telemedicine solutions improve
health by enabling two-way, real
time, remote communication
between the patient and the
physician.
 Communication is via electronic
means and may require usage of
telecommunication equipment.
 Equipment include audio and video
telecommunication devices among
other things.

3. TELEHEALTH
 Telehealth supports long-distance
healthcare, health-related education,
public health and health
administration.
 This involves the use of electronic
data and telecommunication
technologies like videoconferencing,
internet, store-and-forward imaging,
and media streaming.
 It differs from telemedicine as the
former refers to a wider scope of
remote healthcare services that
include both clinical and non-clinical
services.

4. E-HEALTH
 E-health is more of a
marketing/industry term than being
clinical or academic.
 It represents all the possibilities that
can benefit us through the
convergence of the internet and the
healthcare sector.
 Popularized only after 1999, this
term is mostly used in the UK and
the European healthcare market.

5. OTHER DIFFERENCES
 Unlike e-health, telemedicine and telehealth are mostly used in the healthcare
markets of the US and Canada.
 Telemedicine is primarily about remote clinical services that require the
participation of the clinician.
 Telehealth, in simplest of terms, refers to the use of information technology
for healthcare purposes.
