Introduction of Telecardiology and Challenges in Developing Countries

Abstract

Telecardiology is the delivery of cardiac care services by using information and communication technology (ICT) at distance. Research has proven telecardiology is useful for improving cardiac diseases management and reducing unnecessary hospitalizations and travelling. Although telecardiology is not a new cutting edge technology, yet the infrastructure is still not well established in most of the developing countries. This chapter reviews the development of telecardiology system in some of the developing countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia, the related research works, and the challenges of telecardiology deployment in terms of human resource, financial, technology, user acceptance and policy.
