Abstract
This chapter deals with the history and definition of telemedicine, which is followed by a discussion on the newly and rapidly becoming fashionable term “digital health ” that includes telemedicine as one of its main components (eHealth and mHealth being the other two). A section on the social media and another on social networking have been added to address aspects that are specific to them.
