The world of e-healthcare

Read an article on e-healthcare in US. Patients were managing their health record online in HealthVault, a MS online data storage enabler.

Thought about what could be done in india where people might benefit a lot from such a setup. Realised that people really do need to get checked physically by a doctor and that will always be a key part of this business. In matters of health, human comfort is very important.
Thought of a world in future, where there will be a human interaction over the internet, a physical interaction i mean. For example there is a sort of a special material wrapped around a patiennts tummy. And the doctor has an interface touch-screen, when he presses the tummy on the screen, he can feel the pressure, and so can the patient. A future technology! sounds oj, lets see if this ever works out in my lifetime. ciao
