The 14th International Conference on EHealth Technologies is pleased to welcome you. It is a one-of-a-kind event that demonstrates the many facets and diversity of telemedicine and digital health. The EHEALTH SUMMIT 2023 will be held on February 06-07, 20233 at Rome, Italy.The two-day conference is expected to draw over 200 healthcare professionals, nurses, and experts.

Telemedicine is a procedure that combines the practise of medicine with the use of communication or information technology in order to provide remote care. This necessitates the use of electronic communications and related technology components to aid patients with healthcare services as well as clinicians in remotely monitoring the patient, obviating the necessity for an in-person visit entirely.

The current pandemic outbreak has resulted in a significant increase in the use of Telemedicine technology and services. Follow-up visits, chronic condition management, medication management, and specialist consultation can all be done remotely via telemedicine.

Some of the popular examples of telemedicine are:

• Use of videoconferencing platforms to facilitate, diagnose, treat and possibly prevent diseases or injuries

• Cross sharing of ultrasound reports, test results, and other relevant documentation

• Follow-up counseling especially post-surgery or post-hospitalization

• Remote counseling, monitoring, and management of a chronic condition

Telehealth is a subcategory of e-health that encompasses a greater range of electronic and telecommunications technology integration with healthcare service delivery.

While telemedicine is considered a subset of telehealth, the primary distinction is that telemedicine relates to remote clinical services, whereas telehealth includes remote non-clinical services such as service provider training, administrative meetings, and medical education. Telehealth services are given by health professionals in general, such as nurses, pharmacists, and others, according to the World Health Organization.

Whereas Telehealth is inclusive of:

• Diagnosis, counseling, and consulting
• Remote monitoring
• Remote physical and mental therapy sessions
• Specialized education for medical professionals
• Sharing and reviewing of results and reports
