Like it or not, there are people out there who want our healthcare data, and they'll do some pretty unsavory things to get it.

The tech giant has joined the "race to the wrist" with a device and corresponding platform that -- like Apple before it -- could help pique the interests of the healthcare community.

Several telehealth-friendly changes are included in the 1,200-page document, according to the ATA.

Delivering care via video or smartphone is very different from being in the same room with the patient. It requires a skillset that some doctors don't have (and may never get). Here's what some telehealth providers are doing to make sure their docs are doing it right.

For wearables to ever be more than just an expensive bracelet or watch, the devices must deliver data doctors want and fit into their existing systems.

The head of one of the nation's largest and longest-running telehealth platforms also thinks providers and payers -- rather than consumers -- will power the industry going forward.

Whether starting from scratch or looking to scale up, healthcare providers need to make sure they have certain questions answered before building their telehealth programs. Here's one expert's take on what can't be neglected.

Technology developed by electrical engineers has enabled people all over the world to connect and interact in ways previously thought impossible.

Mobile personal emergency response systems (mPERS), which help seniors and others get help when they've fallen, are now being combined with mHealth tools that can link them to other devices and caregivers.

Two studies question whether pharmaceutical giants are using mHealth tools properly to reach both physicians and consumers.
