Abstract
The term “e-health” was born in 1999 to represent the provision of healthcare services through Internet [11], and was heavily promoted by the industry and commercial sectors in order to take advantage of the power and excitement that other “e-” terms like e-commerce and e-business had recently created in society [8, 6]. Nevertheless, the academic world would soon adopt it, leading to what some authors call “the death of telemedicine” [14].
