Literature Review from the year 2015 in the subject Engineering - Computer Engineering, grade: 8.5, Marwadi Education Foundation (Gujarat Technological University), course: Master of Computer Engineering, language: English, abstract: Since the last few decades, there is a drastic increase in the availability of lower-cost telecommunications systems and healthcare services. The telecare medicine information system supports health-care delivery services. These systems are moving towards an automated environment, where automatic patient medical records and electronically interconnected telecare facilities are prevalent.
