[Chosun Ilbo, September 11 2008] Online Healthcare Era Begins

The era of long-distance healthcare is starting. One example is a long-distance healthcare system called "Touch Doctor" introduced by IT firm LG CNS on Wednesday. Using home devices, patients can measure their own blood pressure, blood sugar, electrocardiogram and fat mass and connect the devices to Touch Doctor, a computer monitor-like device, which will transmit the information to a professional nurse at a healthcare center via the Internet.
