Telematics Services, Telemedicine, Health Technologies, MetaverseAbstract
Telemedicine has experienced a great expansion in recent years, with the inclusion of technological advances achieved on the network communications, artificial intelligence, wireless sensors networks, Internet of things, microprocessors, smartphones, cloud computing, among others novel technological solutions. The deployment of this technological advances converges on dissimilar healthcare telematics services systems, more complex by day, like telemonitoring, metaverse, telesurgery, telestroke, among others that provide more efficient and more close to human interaction solutions. The results of its application in different medical specialties have been excellent, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there are open paths to research in order to solve the challenges that telemedicine faces in the actual context, to improve the implied technologies, and to continue to penetrate medical services. The exploitation of the advantages that telemedicine offers in the future must consider the correct use of technologies, information secure and reliable management, emerging technologies inclusion, and the development of solutions in the context of each country. This work accosts a bibliographical review regarding telematic services and the different technologies supporting telemedicine in the world in last years, pointing out its strengths, more recent trends and projections
