Internet as a Giant Connected World
Emergence of a Global Mind with Internet as a Metaphor
How Do We Use this to solve a Major Problem?

Another, Need for an Interface• Challenge for future trainees and practitioners of
Medicine• Solve Health Care Access for people in Developing
Countries (South Asia for instance with 1.4 Billion People)
Health Services Is A World of Triads
Cost of Care
Access to Care Quality of Care
The Holy Grail: Highly Affordable Care to both payers and patients (as low as can be), universal access to healthcare, and highest possible quality of care.

Apply in Connection with Telehealth, or Other Situations such as in the West Coast where people live in difficult to reach terrains … elderly who cannot commute long distances to reach Primary Care … Telehealth …
