Telehealth Technology
The ATA Technology SIG (formerly mHealth, Technology, and Distance Learning Special Interest Group) is the technology “center of excellence” and focus on technologies which enable meaningful practice and outcomes for providers and patients in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease. The SIG expounds on telemedicine technologies and how they should be used by providers and patients in the practice of telemedicine including prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and education for both clinical and educational applications = telemedicine and telehealth. The scope of this SIG would exclude those technologies and practices where there is no prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of disease.
