This book starts with a useful and informative introduction to telemedicine and the definition of telepaediatrics. An initial glossary demystifies some of the technological jargon surrounding information technology and this illumination aids the reader to understand what follows. A book of this nature provides an interesting insight into how innovative ways of using technology can be applied in healthcare.

The British Journal of Healthcare Computing & Information Management, April 2005
