Pages 77-82 | Published online: 10 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

We are living at one of the most exciting moments in the history of healthcare. Technological developments that are beginning to be experienced will, without doubt, produce extraordinary changes in the concept of medicine. This article considers the medical impact of new languages and technologies in wireless Internet, broadband/high speed Internet and virtual reality Internet applications; and analyses their implications for the relationship between patients and physicians in the 21st century. The progressive increase in the speed of transmission of data on the Internet will allow an audiovisual explosion, which will greatly benefit health professionals. Multimedia is extremely important in medicine and, therefore, the Internet will be promoted as an indispensable tool in continuing medical education, telemedicine and healthcare management. The development of wireless devices could be the final piece in this complicated jigsaw puzzle, establishing a bond between the doctor, the patient, the electronic medical record and our daily needs.
