Introduction

This page contains links to websites that we hope you will find interesting and useful in your quest for research and information on the emerging subject of telehealth, telemedicine and eHealth. Entering the word health into a search engine is likely to yield some 120 million references yet the word god yields only 41.6 million references – such is our insatiable appetite for health related issues. Please do not hesitate to advise us if you think we can improve this page further.
