e-Rheumatology: are we ready?

Yasser El Miedany. Clin Rheumatol. 2015 May.

Abstract

Advances in technology led to a heightened interest in exploring the use of this technology in the standard rheumatology practice. Tech-Talks will enable the information at the patients' and rheumatologists' fingertips. As e-rheumatology is an idea whose time has come, this review outlines the e-health's developments and its impact on both the patients and the treating rheumatologists. Also it will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of using apps and mobile health in the day-to-day rheumatology service as well as the ethical and financial aspects of this model of care.
