The healthcare industry is constantly changing to incorporate new advances in science and to address new needs within society. Recent developments in communication technology have greatly facilitated the exchange of information and expertise. Telehealth is an emerging field in which health services are transmitted over a long distance using technologies such as videoconferencing, the Internet, store–and–forward imaging, streaming media, satellites, and wireless communications. Telehealth promises to impact the ways that clinical healthcare, health–related education, public health, and health administration are approached. Telehealth 2007 is intended to be an international forum for researchers and practitioners interested in the advances in and applications of Telehealth to exchange the latest research, results, and ideas in these areas.<br><b>Keywords:</b> Clinical Applications of Telehealth:<br>Primary Care<br>Nursing<br>Home Care<br>Rehabilitation<br>Pediatrics<br>Geriatrics<br>Dermatology<br>Radiology<br>Surgery<br>Ophthalmology<br>ENT<br>Cardiology<br>Pathology<br>Oncology<br>Emergency Medicine<br>Mental Health<br>Chronic Disease Management<br>Dentistry<br>Consultations<br>Other Applications of Telehealth:<br>Sociological Aspects<br>Data Security and Reliability<br>Privacy<br>Cost/Benefit Analysis<br>Legal, Policy, and Regulatory Aspects<br>Organizational Aspects<br>E–Learning<br>Health Administration<br>Knowledge Management<br>Underserviced Communities and Demand for Telehealth<br>Case Studies<br>Telehealth Technologies and Interoperability:<br>Monitoring (Sensors, Receivers, Transmitters, Recorders)<br>Diagnostics<br>Digital Imaging<br>Computed Radiology<br>Computed Tomography<br>Ultrasound Imaging<br>Signal Processing<br>Image Processing<br>Image Compression<br>Data Transmission<br>Image Transmission<br>Videoconferencing<br>Decision Support Systems<br>Web–based Telehealth<br>Database and Information Systems<br>Networking and Interfaces<br>Robotics<br>Remote Controls<br>Surgery Simulations<br>Visualization<br>Simulation and Training<br>Interoperability<br>
