Abstract

The field of e-Health is rapidly evolving. The new models and protocols of application of info-communication technologies for healthcare purposes are developed. Despite of obvious advantages and benefits, practical application of e-Health and its possibilities in everyday practice are slow. Much progress has been made around the world in the field of digital imaging and virtual slides. But in Georgia, telecytology is still in evolving stages. It revolves around static telecytology. It has been revealed that the application of easy available and adaptable technology together with the improvement of the infrastructure conditions is the essential basis for telecytology. This is a very useful and applicable tool for consulting on difficult cases. Telecytology has significantly increased knowledge exchange and thereby ensured a better medical service. The chapter aims description of practical application of telecytology under conditions of Georgia.
