Book SynopsisThe demand for telehealth solutions has been growing exponentially after the Covid-19 pandemic. Hospitals remain understaffed, which leads to staff burnouts and unsatisfactory patient experience. They also find it difficult to use AI to reduce the workload for doctors and nurses. Doctors barely use data collected from wearables and home-use medical devices to make diagnosis. As generative AI advances, traditional medical device manufacturers are exploring with open innovation to transform into a software-based business model facing competition from large tech companies and startups. This book shares the perspectives from different stakeholders around the challenges of the use of AI in healthcare.Table of ContentsTelehealth Solution Market Demands in China and in Europe (Germany, Denmark and Italy). Developing the Innovation Ecosystem: A Case Study on the Chinese Digital Healthcare Industry. Use of AI in Combating COVID-19: Practices in Different Economies.

Book SynopsisThe concept of medical treatment from a distance (in absentia care) is actually quite ancient, dating back to tribal days where smoke signals were used to warn of serious disease in a community. Nowadays, telemedicine is used to facilitate treatment in rural areas, where the nearest doctor is miles away, through various forms of information technology, including videoconferencing and digital imaging. It can also be used to conveniently monitor chronically ill patients through electronic devices so that they can enjoy a better quality of life. But despite the strides that have been made in utilizing the telemedicine technology, there remain a number of limitations and weaknesses that must be overcome before this treatment paradigm can reach its full potential. In Mobile Telemedicine: A Computing and Network Perspective, noted computer scientists Yang Xiao and Hui Chen examine those computing and networking dilemmas arising from wireless and mobile telemedicineTable of ContentsPatient Care and Monitoring. Cardiology. Diabetes. Security and Privacy in Telemedicine. Networking Support. Challenges and Opportunities.

Book SynopsisMany analysts around the world have found themselves in a situation of continuing (or even beginning) psychoanalytic treatment from a distance - either by telephone or other means of communication. No one has found the courage, however, to recognize this as a formal method, as Ricardo Carlino does in this brave, honest, and rigorous book. Freud's ingenious structure of the couch and chair was considered to be the only suitable format for more than one hundred years. Carlino's lucid book takes into account the changes that have taken place in our daily lives, as the result of the resounding technological changes that have influenced our means of communication. Carlino has had the courage to assimilate the changes that have come about in the modern world and argues that Freud's psychoanalytic method can continue to be applied in this new setting. The analytic system, with a patient freely associating his/her occurrences, together with an analyst who listens in silence and communicates his/her interpretation, has remained unaltered.Table of ContentsDistance Psychoanalysis , , About the Author , Prologue for the Spanish Edition , Introduction , Socio-Cultural transformations , Technology and its influence on subjectivity , Communication technology and its articulation with clinical psychoanalysis , Theory of the technique of distance psychoanalysis , Scope and limits of analysis carried out with communication technology , Clinical anecdotes , Clinical psychoanalysis carried out in written form , Public and private law considerations of distance psychoanalysis 1 , Epilogue

Book SynopsisThis book considers a range of aspects of online supervision and is suitable for therapists who already offer this means of delivering supervision as well as those who may be curious about it. As online therapy becomes more mainstream, the importance of using a means of supervision which parallels this is increasingly being recognised by practitioners and the professional bodies. To date, very little has been written about this newly developing way of working. Online Supervision covers a wide range of issues, from the practical aspects of how it happens, through research, legal and ethical issues to specific therapeutic settings and issues. Existing models of supervision are considered in the context of the online setting and some new models which have been developed for specifically for supervising online are explored. All chapters are authored by experienced online therapists and supervisors, who bring their considerable knowledge from their practice to illuminate this growing area of the profession. While the book aims to develop the practice of online supervision, it is recognised that there are circumstances which mean that some practitioners may choose to engage in online supervision of their face-to-face work. This is recognised and so guidelines for offering and engaging in online supervision are discussed. Many practitioners begin to offer online supervision without specialised training and the final chapter centres on a discussion about the value and necessity of undertaking preparation for working in a new medium. Above all, the work aims to be readable and accessible to both experienced practitioners and newcomers to this field.Table of ContentsIntroduction (ANNE STOKES) PART I: Online supervision in practice 1 A brief overview of online supervision (ANNE STOKES) 2 Learning from the past and looking to the future: research on online supervision (CHRIS O’MAHONY) 3 Meandering through models: can face-to-face supervision models be used for online supervision?

Book SynopsisThis book details the practice of telerheumatology. Telemedicine is defined as the delivery of healthcare and the exchange of healthcare information across distances. Following, telerheumatology is the delivery of rheumatology care through telemedicine. There exists an increasing demand from patients, caregivers, and healthcare systems for access to academic specialists through telemedicine. This has been the case for the past several years and the demand has only increased with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. There is currently a lack of rheumatologists in rural areas and that is expected to spread to a general lack by 2025. Telerheumatology offers an excellent and timely solution to fill these gaps and provide care.Telerheumatology care has been shown to be feasible and quite effective. The current COVID-19 pandemic has thrust the concept of telemedicine into the spotlight. However, not all telerheumatology care is the same and there exists many nuances and differences when examining telerheumatology care across the United States and the world. After comprehensively reviewing the origins of telerheumatology, this work defines in detail the current practice of telerheumatology, along with the specific impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and all applications of telerheumatology. Expert authors also provide a detailed roadmap for providers to initiate, sustain, and grow a telerheumatology program. The book concludes by covering future directions of telerheumatology, including areas for expansion, improvement, and innovation.After reading this work, the editor and all the contributing authors hope that it will inspire, provoke thought and discussion, and lead to increased adaptation of providing telerheumatology care by rheumatologists and rheumatology providers.Table of Contents
