This document discusses e-health and telemedicine. It defines e-health as healthcare supported by electronic processes and communication delivered via the internet. Telemedicine allows remote transmission of medical information like ECGs via telephone, enabling diagnosis and treatment. Telemedicine benefits patients in remote/rural areas by increasing access to specialists and emergency care. It can reduce mortality from heart attacks by shortening the time between onset and treatment. E-health aims to improve healthcare access, quality, efficiency and equity through information sharing and communication technologies.
