 Handbook of Research on Knowledge Management in Telemedicine:
 Advanced Ethics, Policy and Regulatory Applications
 A book edited by Dr. Jayanth G. Paraki, Telemedicine Research Laboratory


 Introduction
 Telemedicine is intertwined with Internet, Semantic Web and Data
 mining. Internet is a phenomenon that supports evolution of both
 Semantic Web and Telemedicine. While Telemedicine is best understood
 by medical professionals it is common knowledge that Internet is
 accessed by almost everyone with flair for English language.
 Telemedicine lies far beyond Internet itself and suffers from lack of
 global technology standards and profuse applications, which would make
 it a household name like Google or Yahoo. Herein lies the significance
 of the Semantic Web. A technology interface or enabler that can
 rapidly develop simple and efficient applications for telemedicine is
 urgently required. This is the area from which new innovations are
 likely to emerge within the next 2-3 years. The Handbook of Research
 on Knowledge Management in Telemedicine: Advanced Ethics, Policy and
 Regulatory Applications covers a wide range of topics from early
 adopters of Telemedicine to the latest innovation and futuristic
 tele-robotic technologies.


 The Overall Objective of the Book
 In the fields of Knowledge Management in Telemedicine and associated
 fields of Datamining and Biomedical Ontology, there exists a need for
 an edited collection of articles in this area. The book aims to
 provide relevant theoretical frameworks and latest empirical research
 findings in the area. It is written for professionals who want to
 improve their understanding of the global significance of Telemedicine
 and apply it in their profession. Since Telemedicine is expected to
 provide a strategic thrust at different levels of the global
 information and knowledge society and bridge the knowledge gaps in
 developing nations, the book addresses the all important ethics,
 policy and regulatory applications in a detailed and comprehensive
 fashion.


 The Target Audience
 Professionals and researchers working in the field of information and
 knowledge management in various disciplines, e.g. library, information
 and communication sciences, administrative sciences and management,
 education, adult education, sociology, computer science, information
 technology. Moreover, the book will provide insights and support
 decision-makers at local, regional, national and international levels
 to implement Telemedicine initiatives in their country to advance
 quality of healthcare, medical education and research and elevate the
 overall health and well-being of society and communities.

 Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
 History And Evolution Of Telemedicine
 Internet, Semantic Web And Telemedicine
 Telecommunications And Telemedicine
 Information Technology And Telemedicine
 Devices, Equipments, Instruments And Accessories And Telemedicine
 Medical Applications Of Telemedicine
