Featuring chapters written by leading experts in their fields, this first volume of The E-Medicine, E-Health, M-Health, Telemedicine, and Telehealth Handbook describes the integration of-and interactions between-modern eMedicine, telemedicine, eHealth, and telehealth practices. It explains how medical information flows through wireless technologies and networks, emphasizing fast-deploying wireless body area networks. It presents the latest developments in sensors, devices, and implantables, from medical sensors for mobile communication devices to drug-delivery systems. It illustrates practical telemedicine applications in telecardiology, teleradiology, teledermatology, teleaudiology, teleoncology, acute care telemedicine, and more.
