Telemedicine (TM) is increasingly becoming part of the practice of medicine rather than a special practice that is separate from the normal practice of medicine.Health care planners are now seeking to identify technologies and settings where this practice can be best applied to improve outcomes, save time, and/or save money. DefinitionsTM is defined by the American Telemedicine Association as the use of medical information exchanged from 1 site to another via electronic communications to improve a patient's clinical health status. 1 TM incorporates multiple types of communication services such as 2-way video, email, texting, smartphones, tablets, wireless monitors, decision support tools, and other forms of telecommunication technologies.The definition of mHealth is the use of mobile digital communication devices for health services and information.2 Wearable or portable sensors, smartphones, tablets, and other mobile wireless devices can deliver mHealth.Most mHealth systems incorporate a method of data storage utilizing remote distributed servers, which are also known as the cloud.
