Opis

Telemedicine is no longer a distant vision - it is a fast-emerging reality transforming health care. This book traces that journey from the earliest remote consultations to the cutting-edge world of immersive virtual care. We explore how foundational technologies (telephone, radio, closed-circuit TV) paved the way for today's high-bandwidth video networks and new innovations in AI, virtual/augmented reality (VR/AR), telepresence, and blockchain. We also address the ethical, legal, and practical challenges at each stage. Drawing on historical examples, modern research, and emerging pilot projects, this narrative offers health professionals, policymakers, and technologists a comprehensive and balanced view. The goal is to present telemedicine's story in an engaging, authoritative tone - highlighting successes, acknowledging challenges, and inspiring informed planning for the next generation of connected care.
