e-Health

Call it e-health, telemedicine, telehealth or any its other names, and it comes out to same thing -- and it's here to stay and become more and more part of the health care system. With health care more widespread, and a dwindling pool of medical practitioners available, technology is being turned to make better use of the resources available. The downside to all of this is that the one-on-one care that patients used to experience may disappear -- but with an increasing aging population that's more tech savvy, hopefully this change won't be seen as a bad thing, and it will free up resources to deal with the bigger problems hands-on.
