T2  - Understanding Telehealth
AB  - Although  decades  old,  telemedicine  is  now  growing  at  an  accelerated  rate,  with  no  end  in  sight.  In  fact,  we  are  only  at  the  beginning  of  a  complete  transformation  in  the  way  health  care  services  are  provided,  affecting  those  who  provide  them,  those  who  receive  them,  how  they  are  provided,  and  where  health  services  are  available.  For  long-time  observers  of  telecommunications  technology  markets,  such  growth  is  not  unexpected.  Long  ago  the  banking  industry  underwent  a  dramatic  change  as  consumers  gained  ubiquitous  access  to  their  cash  from  ATMs  and  later  to  a  host  of  other  financial  services  over  the  Internet.  Today,  no  one  would  even  think  of  opening  a  bank  without  offering  its  customers  access  to  ATMs  and  other  online  services.  Similar  revolutionary  changes  have  transformed  entertainment  and  retail  commerce.  Therefore,  the  banking,  entertainment,  and  retail  commerce  industries  have  completely  changed,  with  new  service  providers,  new  services,  and  increased  consumer  choice  and  power.
