HOT: the emergence of health oriented telecommunication applications
1Environmental Science and Policy Institute.
Abstract:
America has benefited from decades of outstanding health services. However, the American health system now is in crisis--with runaway medical cost inflation, hospital closures, and unacceptably high and increasing numbers of uninsured people. Key solutions for bringing the health system into balance remain untapped in the potentials of health-oriented telecommunication, or HOT applications. HOT applications could rally the immense unused personal resources of the public for improving their own health, help upgrade the delivery and efficiency of healthcare and its administration, and improve public health's ability to deal with present and emerging system-level problems impacting health.
