EHealth
eHealth (also written e-health) is a relatively recent healthcare practice supported by electronic processes and communication, dating back to at least 1999. Usage of the term varies as it covers not just "Internet medicine" as it was conceived during that time, but also "virtually everything related to computers and medicine". A study in 2005 found 51 unique definitions. Some argue that it is interchangeable with health informatics with a broad definition covering electronic/digital processes in health while others use it in the narrower sense of healthcare practice using the Internet. It can also include health applications and links on mobile phones, referred to as mHealth or m-Health. Types The term can encompass a range of services or systems that are at the edge of medicine/healthcare and information technology, including: * Electronic health record: enabling the communication of patient data between different healthcare professionals (GPs, specialists ''etc.''); * Compu ...
