"This is useful as an overview of telehealth, a relatively new area of healthcare. It also provides specific detail about research projects which will potentially help others to design and implement technology for healthcare delivery."

The knowledge and insights provided in this book will help students as well as systems designers to understand the fundamental social and technical requirements future healthcare technologies have to meet. By providing a well-rounded introduction within one single volume, this book is equally suited as a library reference and upper-level course supplement, but also represents a first-class resource for independent study.

..this book makes an important contribution. As it points out, currently "Healthcare is the responsibility of the person. Medical intervention is the responsibility of the physician. How the two come together is poised to change dramatically". e-Health, Assistive Technologies and Applications for Assisted Living is chock-full of challenging ideas for developing healthcare systems, distinctly different from the current sick-care systems.
