Welcome to International Telemedicine Academy
Despite the fast development of telemedicine as scientific and practical discipline, it is still considered a novelty in the global scale. That is because telemedicine is strictly interdisciplinary in character, combining medicine, computer science, telecommunications, multimedia technology, biomedical engineering, psychology, electronics as well as certain branches of physics (e.g. acoustics and optics) and mathematics (data analysis techniques).
We extend an invitation to all interested specialists in the above domains of medicine, science and technology. This Journal provides a forum for exchanging ideas between researchers, medical doctors and engineers, and will serve again future developments of international co-operation in the domains of: general telemedicine, telepathology, distance learning and advanced multimedia communication services. That is necessary because the question still stands: how should health care organisations, technologies and research respond in order to maximise the positive potentials of citizens participation in eHealth technologies? This question will be answered principally by those engaged in the process of developing telemedicine and telecommunication technologies who will be willing to contribute to our Journal of the International Telemedicine Academy.
