TMT SPECIAL ISSUE PREMIER:
Proceedings from the 16th International Conference of the
Telemedicine Society of India

TMT is pleased to spotlight the digital health revolution occurring around the world. In this issue, we present a curated collected from the Telemedicine Society of India. India has made great strides in improving technology resources in the country and telehealth has had a substantial impact on communities.

Government initiatives and policies have been playing an essential role in driving the growth of the global telemedicine market. More recently initiatives such as the National Digital Health Mission (NDHM) aim to digitize India’s healthcare ecosystem and provide a Health ID to every person in the country, while the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has finalized the Health Data Management Policy (HDM Policy), giving patients complete ownership over the health data and its utilization.

With this issue, Telehealth and Medicine Today aspires to demonstrate how collaboration and sharing scientific research across boarders can speed solutions, enhance reproducibility, increase partnership and the impact of community health, equity and inclusion for researchers, citizens and clinicians.
