Telemedicine: A New Perspective in the Treatment of Internet Gaming Disorder Among Adolescents by Georgekutty Kuriala Kochuchakkalackal* in Crimson publishers: Digital Health
The internet era brings an enormous opportunity to contribute in the universal goal of providing quality clinical and health care especially addressing emerging issues that significantly affect the mental health of adolescents brought about by modern technology. What used to be unimaginable is made possible by the integration of advancement in information technology, electronic communications technology, telecommunications, computers and mobile technology with the field of medicine giving rise to the inception of the field of telemedicine as early as the 1960s using radio and telephone [1]. Presently, with the emergence of new health conditions needing immediate diagnosis and treatment, the internet facility plays an important role in communication and in providing these services to patient’s real time. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently recognized gaming disorder as a mental health condition as it continues to affect adolescents in increasing number of countries.
Factors Influencing the Uptake of National Health Insurance Schemes among the...Premier Publishers
Purpose: Penetration of health insurance in the informal sector is very poor, this calls for upward scaling of successful interventions to remedy this situation given that health insurance increases access to healthcare services and improves financial risk protection. This study assessed the factors influencing uptake of national health insurance schemes among informal sector in Vihiga sub-county, Kenya.
Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study design was used. The target population was the informal sector workers. A sample of 384 participants was selected by cluster and simple random sampling techniques. Data was collected using a semi-structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics was summarized using tables, chi-square and bivariate logistic regression were used to test for associations (p<0.05).
Results: The study revealed that there was a significant influence of trust and knowledge of the health insurance scheme on the uptake of national health insurance (p < 0.05). The study further revealed that the attractiveness of the scheme had a big influence on the uptake of national health insurance
Conclusion: Trust and knowledge of the health insurance scheme had significant influence on uptake of national health insurance. Health Insurance Schemes should be designed in such a way that they attract informal sector workers and information regarding these schemes is disseminated to these people.
Wow, look what I just found... the PPT for my doctoral disseration where I studied the monetary affect of physician's adopting the internet into their practice and how they communicate with their patients. Just like people switched doctors, even ones they have been going to for years, just to save
Medication non-adherence is a growing concern, as it is increasingly associated with negative health outcomes and higher cost of care. Tackling the burden of non-adherence requires a collaborative, patient-centric approach that considers individual patient needs and results in intelligent interventions that combine high-tech with high-touch.

Online and Virtual Health Information Use, Health Empowerment and Health Risksasclepiuspdfs
Access to virtual health information is associated with improved knowledge about health issues. In this commentary, we present the challenges associated with the use of the virtual sources of information including eHealth and mHealth for health purposes. We analyze the difficulties caused by a set of individual-level constraints - lack of technology skills, chronic condition, and a distinction between lifestyle and healthcare goals that prevent the effective use of eHealth and mHealth sources. We propose that institutional level efforts encouraging the use of virtual health sources toward increased health empowerment and self-management practices should account for these individual-level constraints. By doing so, institutional health-care providers will be more likely to increase the quality in the delivery of health services and health programs, improve the likelihood of effective self-management practices, and reduce the risk of inducing secondary digital divide effects.
Recent advances in the evidence base for technology-based behavioral health applications have provided clinicians a better understanding and guidance on the integration of these tools into clinical care. Participants will learn about research findings on current technologies in use in clinical practice, such as audio conferencing, video conferencing, and virtual reality, in addition to tools available for use between patients, such as the use of websites and mobile applications and wearable sensors.

Art as therapy: An effective way of promoting positive mental health?Peachy Essay
Modern art can be used to procure health for infirm suffering from different ailments. The performances and creation of drawings creatively communicate to the people, who might be emotionally disturbed. In the traditional practices, the human race was seen to be primitive because the methods which were embraced to restore health were the conventional chemical drugs. The understanding of the conscious and unconscious mind of people has emerged in the recent time, where physicians and other medical practitioners have embraced the need to understand the psychological well-being of the patients. (Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine, 2008) supports the idea of art therapy enabling persons to acquire insight into their feelings and therefore resolve their apprehensions. Considerable emphasis is laid on the use of music and other forms of art such as drawing to relax the minds of the patients and improve their recuperation. (Cutler, David, 2011) supports further this philosophy.

Telehealth and Geriatrics:
How telehealth improves medication management
and patient safety in the geriatric patient
Avrakham Rubinov

What is Geriatrics?
Geriatrics is a subspecialty of internal medicine and primary care that was named in 1909 by Ignatz Leo Nascher.
Geriatrics is that specialty of medicine that addresses the health needs of the elderly.
Gellis, Z. D., Kenaley, B., McGinty, J., Bardelli, E., Davitt, J., & Ten Have, T. (2012).
2
Telemedicine is a highly effective
and necessary tool in geriatrics.
The global population of elderly people is increasing at a remarkable rate,
This is expected to continue for some time.
Older patients require more care.
The current model of care delivery indicated costs are expected to rise.
Telemedicine is a great opportunity for medical practice to evolve to cost effective and new levels of engagement with patients
Chang, W., Homer, M., & Rossi, M. (2018).

Geriatics, HIT and Patient Safety
CONCERNS:
SOLUTIONS:
Patient safety is a concern.
Telehealth: Difficult to monitor conditions in a patient’s home.
Safety risks such as falls and inability to get in and out of the tub or shower.
Fewer In-Person Consultations
Doctors worry about technical problems associated with telemedicine. poor broadband connections could lead to “possible patient mismanagement.”
Many physicians and patients alike still like a “personal touch,” and not all procedures – even simple checkups – can be performed digitally.
Difficult to monitor depression or other emotional issues.
Health information technology (HIT) is the future of improving care and outcomes for older adults.
There is a growing program of research. HIT are solutions to improving the safety, quality and efficiency of care.
Gerontological nurse scientists are at the forefront of advancing this work.
Electronic health records (EHRs)and telehealth will blend care of older adults.
Multimedia/advanced directives from HIT provided to patients recovering from critical illness have increased the intent to sign an advanced directive by 25 times
Liu, L., Stroulia, E., Nikolaidis, I., Miguel-Cruz, A., Rincon, A. R. (2016).
4
The HITECH Act resulted growth in the development and implementation of the EHR.
The impact of an integrated EHR in 29 Kaiser Permanente hospitals was significant on process and outcome indicators for patient falls and hospital acquired pressure ulcers and other measures of patient safety.
The EHR system was associated with improved documentation of falls/pressure ulcers and significant improvements for pressure ulcer risk assessment documentation.

through its bite can transmit the virus, causing microcephaly, it can causes consequences thought life. Beyond
the number of microcephaly cases growth, the Zika virus generates major problems involving the whole society
and economy of the country, such as the cost of medical treatment of the microcephalic child and his family that
will stop working to support and follow the treatment, and also to the cost of basic sanitation, as a prime factor
for mosquito control and the elaboration of public policies. Thus, the present work analyzed economic and
environmental aspects for the understanding the virus’ factors that provided the vector growth. A bibliographic
research carried out to understand the effects of the Zika virus and its economic, social and environmental
impacts. In this study, the costs related to microcephaly, the loss of income of microcephalic child’s relatives
and the country’s investment in basic sanitation were estimated

Problems such as inaccurate diagnoses and poor drug-adherence pose challenges to individual health and safety. These challenges are now being alleviated with big data analytics using personalized drug regimes, follow-up alerts and real-time diagnosis monitoring.
In this paper, learn how predictive analytics is helping healthcare industry with technologies such as Clinical Decision Support, Medical Text Analysis and Electronic Health Record (EHR).
How Tele-Medicine Helped and provide support to the healthcare systems, particularly in the areas of public health, prevention, and clinical practices, just as it is doing in other sectors. One of the most important strategies to reduce and mitigate the advance of the epidemic is social distance measures
A radiology report serves as an intermediary between a radiologist and referring clinician for suggesting
appropriate treatment to the patients, aimed at better healthcare management. It is essentially a tool
that assists radiologists in conveying their input to the patients and clinicians regarding positive or negative findings on a case. The objective of this paper is to discuss and propose Radiology Information & Reporting System (RIRS), highlight challenges governing its implementation and suggest way forwards
towards its effective implementation across the public sector tertiary care institutions of Pakistan. In the end, it is concluded that the proposed RIRS would potentially offer enormous benefits in terms of cost
savings, reporting accuracy, faster processing and operational efficiency as opposed to the conventionally available manual radiology reporting procedures and systems.
Presently, there are two categories of cigarettes, namely, combustible cigarette and noncombustible or electronic cigarettes (EC). While combustible cigarettes release smoke,
electronic cigarettes produce vapor or aerosol mist. To address the concerns of harm from tobacco smoke, which contains over 100 potentially harmful chemicals to human health. Exposure to those chemicals is the known cause of smoking-related diseases, such as, chronic bronchitis, pulmonary emphysema, and bronchial cancers. On the other hand, without
combustion or burning, electronic cigarettes, either the nicotine liquid, or the heat-notburn tobacco sticks, produce no tar and emit less toxicants. In this regard, both types of the
less harm e-cigarettes have been recommended for using as alternative solution as harm reduction strategies for addicted cigarette smokers. It is becoming more popular worldwide,
especially in the USA.

Advanced age, having comorbidities, and vitamin D deficiency are three most important reasons for increased vulnerability to COVID-19 and also worsen complications and increase the risk of death.
Despite the vast amount of information available and lessons learned, many countries are still not fully utilizing these to manage secondary peaks of COVID-19 infection. Factors associated with worse COVID-19 prognosis include, older age, ethnicity, male sex, having comorbidities, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and smoking; all these are associate with vitamin D deficiency. COVID-19 symptomatology varies from
mostly asymptomatic, to, up to 2% fatality. The latter is characterized by cytokine storm, an immune reaction, diffuse arterial thromboembolism, acute respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary oedema,and death.
Myiasis is the infestation by larvae of flies. Myiasis may involve the skin, eyes, nasal passages, gastrointestinal and enitourinary tracts. Cases of urinary myiasis are very rare mostly occurs in immunocompromised hosts, those with previous urologic instrumentation or those with poor socioeconomic status.

Advancements in modern imaging techniques such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, computer tomography and other radiological procedures have improved the diagnosis of gynecological conditions to a great extent. However, the establishment of a final diagnosis and the initiation of appropriate treatment requires direct viewing of the uterine cavity as in hysteroscopy. In many cases, the patient can be treated during the initial hysteroscopy.
The Acceptance and Cognitive Restructuring Intervention Program (ACRIP) has been proven efficacious in existing studies to reduce the symptoms of Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) and improve the psychological well-being of adolescents. IGD has recently been recognized as a mental health condition by the World Health Organization as it becomes an emerging issue of significant public health concern. Empirical evidences associating IGD with poor psychological well-being are increasing.
Since the implementation of the “Unified Health System (SUS)” in Brazil in 1990 (public system that offers universal access to any citizen, whether employed or not), there have been
significant and diversified advances in the formulation of structural policies and programmatic actions of the health sector, directed to the three levels of complexity of the system, with a view to its operationalization/expansion in the country [1].
Telemedicine, E health and other technologies promise change that can profoundly affect patients and providers. Even a quick scan of topics featured in this journal demonstrates its impact on quality of life, public health concerns, and effectiveness healthcare. However, this powerful area of health care also creates serious issues for patients and providers. This writer
is particularly interested in ethics issues that affect the soul of health care.
Since the end of the twentieth century the epidemiological discourse has acquired a more and more undeniable value. This universal symbolic authority of epidemiology of risk factors has become emblematic with the incorporation of lifestyle rhetoric [1-3]. In advocating such
an approach, the area has departed from its historical and epistemological assumptions (population and social context of illness) over the valuation of individual perspective inherent to the emergence of a new globalized economic order, which has gradually shifted the collective concerns of health public to a marginal position [4,5] especially in peripheral capitalist countries [6].
Psychological studies involving humans suggested that addiction is a form of learning and that relapse is a persistent memory of the drug experiences [1,2]. It is the gene transcription factor Cyclic AMP Response-Element-Binding protein (CREB) acting as a switch, converting short-term memory to long-term memory, referred to as the acetylation of chromatin structures [3].
The use of mobile applications, through smart phones, smartphones, has been considered by many to be the technological revolution of greatest repercussion in recent times. Compared to a handheld computer and with access to millions of applications, its main feature is unlimited mobility, accompanying its user at all times and in any place. In health, it is known that professionals are constantly moving outside of the institutions in which they work, so mobility is fundamental, which contributes to the interoperability of mobile technologies. This study aims to identify the research involving mobile technology applied to the vaccination being used. The methodology used is of the type integrative review of the literature. The final sample had 14 papers.

Protective Effects of Ethanol Leaf-Extract of Cajanus Cajan (Linn) in Alcohol Induced Nephrotoxicity in Albino Rats by NN Ezeani* in Crimson Publishers: Telemedicine and e-Health
The protective effects of ethanol leaf-extract of Cajanus cajan in alcohol induced nephrotoxicity in albino rats were investigated. Thirty-six albino rats were assigned into six (6) experimental groups (A, B, C, D, E, F) with six rats in each group. Group A (Normal control) was administered normal saline only. Group B (standard control) was administered 5mg/kg body weight of standard drug (Silymarin); group C (positive control) was administered 3.7g/kg body weight of 99.7% ethanol while rats in groups D,E and F (test groups) were administered graded doses of 200mg/kg, 400mg/kg and 600mg/kg body weights of ethanol leaf-extract of Cajanus cajan respectively. Rats in standard control and test groups were administered 3.7g/kg body weight of 99.7% ethanol, once a day, 3 hours after administration of standard drug and ethanol leaf-extract of Cajanus cajan respectively. The administration lasted for 14 days through oral intubation. The result of our investigation showed that creatinine, uric acid and urea were significantly (P<0.05) increased in positive control group compared to the levels observed in the normal and standard control groups. However, groups administered ethanol leaf-extract of Cajanus cajan at the doses of 200mg/kg, 400mg/kg and 600mg/kg body weight all showed a significant (P<0.05) reversal in the trends of these parameters to concentrations comparable to those observed in the positive and normal control groups. The findings of this study suggest that ethanol leaf-extract of Cajanus cajan may have potentials that could be exploited for development of chemotherapies against renal toxicity.

A Survey of Energy Efficiency in Wireless Human Body Sensors Lifetime for Hea...CrimsonpublishersTTEH
A Survey of Energy Efficiency in Wireless Human Body Sensors Lifetime for Healthcare Applications by Sara Kassan*, Jaafar Gaber and Pascal Lorenz in Crimson Publishers: Digital health journal impact factor
Wireless Human Body Sensor Networks (WHBSNs) are extensively used in vital sign monitoring applications and predicting crop health in in order to identify emergency situations and allow caregivers to respond efficiently. When a sensor is drained of energy, it can no longer achieve its role without a substituted source of energy. However, limited energy in a sensor’s battery prevents the long-term process in such applications. In addition, replacing the sensors’ batteries and redeploying the sensors can be very expensive in terms of time and budget and need the presence of the patient at the hospital. To overcome the energy limitation, researchers have proposed the use of energy harvesting to reload the rechargeable battery by power. Therefore, efficient power management is required to increase the benefits of having additional environmental energy. This paper presents a review of energy efficient harvesting mechanisms to extend the Wireless Human Body Sensors lifetime.

The Germinative Preponderance-Sebaceous Epithelioma_ Crimson PublishersCrimsonpublishersTTEH
The Germinative Preponderance-Sebaceous Epithelioma by Anubha Bajaj* in Crimson Publishers: International journal of telemedicine and applications
Sebaceous epithelioma is a benign, exceptional, distinctive neoplasm comprised of basaloid cells and mature sebocytes. Although a sporadic neoplasm, Muir-Torre syndrome can be frequently associated with sebaceous epithelioma. Benign sebaceous epithelioma, additionally termed as sebaceoma is indicative of sebaceous neoplasm exceeding >50% basaloid cell component and demonstrates yellow papules, nodules or plaques predominating on sites of enhanced sebaceous glands. Dermoscopy delineates yellow-tinged, granular articulations with fine, curvilinear capillaries and vascular formations. Sebaceoma incorporates an admixture of undifferentiated basaloid cells and differentiated sebaceous cells. Basaloid cells enunciate a cytoplasmic vacuolation and sebaceous cells are clear and lipid rich. Histological variants of sebaceoma include carcinoid- like, sinusoidal, reticulated, cribriform, rippled and sebaceoma with Verocay bodylike features. Immune reactivity to adipophilin, epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), cytokeratin 5(CK5), cytokeratin 6(CK6) and p40 are elucidated. Sebaceoma requires a distinction from basal cell carcinoma with sebaceous differentiation and trichoblastoma with sebaceous differentiation. Surgical resection of the neoplasm with a narrow surgical resection margin is the preferred therapeutic option.

Tobacco Harm Reduction by Somchai Bovornkitti* in Crimson Publishers: Telemedicine and e-Health open access journals
Cigarette smoke contain approximately 250 different chemicals known to be harmful to human health. Thousands of harmful chemical substances produce by the combustion of tobacco. The health impacts such as cancer and chronic lung disease are not only associated with smokers but also people who are exposed to secondhand smoke. Tobacco Harm Reduction is a concept to minimize the impacts of tobacco on the individual and on society at large. A key component of this strategy is using alternative source of nicotine as a substitute to tobacco cigarettes. Electronic cigarette and heated tobacco are alternatives that might have potential in reduce harm from smokes. This paper elaborates on available research associated with electronic cigarette and heated tobacco with harm reduction and risk perspective.

A news article, entitled “Study Finds Asbestos in Nearly Half of Thailand’s Population” by Tim Povtak, was published in CTN News (Chaing Rai News) on July 3, 2019. Unfortunately, it contained some misunderstandings concerning the recent report of Incharoen and her colleagues [1]. For the record, two studies have been conducted in Thailand to search for the presence of asbestos bodies in the lungs of patients who had died of different conditions besides asbestos-related diseases. The first study by Sri umpai et al. [2] was published in 1985. Those researchers reported that, of the 330 cadavers that they had examined, 33 percent were found to contain asbestos bodies [2]. The second study by Incharoen et al. [1] was conducted 30 odd years later; those researchers found an even higher incidence of asbestos bodies, i.e. up to 48.5 percent, in 97 of the 200 cadavers that they had examined [1].
The findings of both studies implied that Thai people at large were being exposed to increasing amounts of asbestos fibers floating in the ambient atmosphere. The pollutants were likely being released from the earth during rough weather, as well as the scaling off of asbestos fibers from the roof tiles and siding of aging houses. The studies did not claim that such exposure would lead to the death of those who had been exposed to asbestos bodies in their lungs

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.

Opinion
The internet era brings an enormous opportunity to contribute in the universal goal
of providing quality clinical and health care especially addressing emerging issues that
significantly affect the mental health of adolescents brought about by modern technology.
What used to be unimaginable is made possible by the integration of advancement in
information technology, electronic communications technology, telecommunications,
computers and mobile technology with the field of medicine giving rise to the inception of the
field of telemedicine as early as the 1960s using radio and telephone [1]. Presently, with the
emergence of new health conditions needing immediate diagnosis and treatment, the internet
facility plays an important role in communication and in providing these services to patients
real time. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently recognized gaming disorder
as a mental health condition as it continues to affect adolescents in increasing number of
countries.
Empirical evidences associating Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) with poor psychological
well-being is also increasing and, in severe cases, death occurs. We are challenging the
medical profession, both the professionals and the health care service providers, to expand
the practice of telemedicine as a new perspective in the treatment of adolescents with gaming
disorder in consideration of patient well-being, its negative to severe consequences in daily
life, and its mission to help ensure patients are provided with best health care service available
[2]. Telemedicine uses electronic communications media such as tele-conferencing, image-
sharing, document sharing, and mobile technology. Depending on the patient’s geographical
location and health care needs, a patient avails (real time) interactive services, remote
patient monitoring and store and forward benefits of telemedicine. Real time interactive
services enable the patient, doctor and/or medical staff to be in communication with each
other over computer or mobile phone at any given time. Remote patient monitoring allows
patients to be monitored outside of the conventional clinical setting. Store and forward is
a telecommunications technique when there is intermittent network connectivity usually
experienced in the wilderness or environments requiring high mobility [3]. Information is
temporarilystoredthenforwardedtoitsdestinationatalatertime.Todate,theimplementation
of telemedicine has expanded to medical fields such as dermatology, cardiology and behavioral
health to provide clinical and specialty care to those without access to physicians or hospitals,
or both. The sophistication in technologies gave rise to telerehabilitation, telenursing, tele
neuropsychology, telepsychiatry, teleradiology, telepathology, teledentistry among others.
The advantages of adopting telemedicine includes:
A. Overcoming distance barrier attributed to the global reach or accessibility of the
internet,
B. Reducing or totally eliminating travel distance and time for consultation and
treatment,
