ABSTRACT
The legend dates back to 1876 with Alexander Graham Bell's invention of the Telephone. “When he invented the telephone, Alexander Graham Bell's first words to his assistant were: Come here, Mr. Watson, I must see you. Legend has it that the reason Bell called his assistant over was because the inventor had spilled acid on his pants and required medical attention, if so it's one of the first known examples of telehealth.” 1 Most people became aware of telehealth in the 1980s. Since then, it has grown and developed to be a viable platform for all healthcare professionals.
