Indian healthcare services are rapidly expanding in terms of technological advancement and better patient management, and e-Healthcare strategies are being increasingly used to deliver better overall services. Any kind of healthcare practice that is supported by a range of electronic communication and processes is broadly termed as e-Healthcare. A wide variety of services that can be broadly categorized under e-Healthcare include maintenance of electronic health records, consumer health informatics, telemedicine, health knowledge management, m-Health (related to mobile devices) and other healthcare information systems. However, e-Healthcare services need to maintain confidentiality of patient data and this is what prevents mass acceptance of e-Health tools. Videoconferencing, email and chat are some of the information technology applications that are used to deliver e-Healthcare services in India. Other popular forms include telemedicine and the more advanced cybermedicine. Hide this
