Handbook of Research on Knowledge Management in
Telemedicine:
Advanced Ethics, Policy and Regulatory Applications
A book edited by Dr. Jayanth G. Paraki, Telemedicine
Research Laboratory
Introduction
Telemedicine is intertwined with Internet, Semantic Web and
Data
mining. Internet is a phenomenon that supports evolution of
both
Semantic Web and Telemedicine. While Telemedicine is best
understood
by medical professionals it is common knowledge that
Internet is
accessed by almost everyone with flair for English
language.
Telemedicine lies far beyond Internet itself and suffers
from lack of
global technology standards and profuse applications, which
would make
it a household name like Google or Yahoo. Herein lies the
significance
of the Semantic Web. A technology interface or enabler that
can
rapidly develop simple and efficient applications for
telemedicine is
urgently required. This is the area from which new
innovations are
likely to emerge within the next 2-3 years. The Handbook of
Research
on Knowledge Management in Telemedicine: Advanced Ethics,
Policy and
Regulatory Applications covers a wide range of topics from
early
adopters of Telemedicine to the latest innovation and
futuristic
tele-robotic technologies.
The Overall Objective of the Book
In the fields of Knowledge Management in Telemedicine and
associated
fields of Datamining and Biomedical Ontology, there exists
a need for
an edited collection of articles in this area. The book
aims to
provide relevant theoretical frameworks and latest
empirical research
findings in the area. It is written for professionals who
want to
improve their understanding of the global significance of
Telemedicine
and apply it in their profession. Since Telemedicine is
expected to
provide a strategic thrust at different levels of the
global
information and knowledge society and bridge the knowledge
gaps in
developing nations, the book addresses the all important
ethics,
policy and regulatory applications in a detailed and
comprehensive
fashion.
The Target Audience
Professionals and researchers working in the field of
information and
knowledge management in various disciplines, e.g. library,
information
and communication sciences, administrative sciences and
management,
education, adult education, sociology, computer science,
information
technology. Moreover, the book will provide insights and
support
decision-makers at local, regional, national and
international levels
to implement Telemedicine initiatives in their country to
advance
quality of healthcare, medical education and research and
elevate the
overall health and well-being of society and communities.
Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the
following:
History And Evolution Of Telemedicine
Internet, Semantic Web And Telemedicine
Telecommunications And Telemedicine
Information Technology And Telemedicine
Devices, Equipments, Instruments And Accessories And
Telemedicine
Medical Applications Of Telemedicine
Global Ethics And Telemedicine
Local, National And International Policies In Telemedicine
Total Quality Management In Telemedicine
University- Industry Alliance In Telemedicine
Tele-Robotics- Theory And Applications
Biomedical Ontology: Theory And Applications
Datamining Applications For Telemedicine
Decision Support Systems For Telemedicine
