▪ “ ‘Telehealth’ is a service provided from a remote location using a combination of interactive video, audio, and externally acquired images through a networking environment between an individual at an originating site and a provider at a remote location with the service being of sufficient audio and visual fidelity and clarity as to be functionally equivalent to face-to-face contact. ‘Telehealth’ does not include telephone conversations or Internet-based communications between providers or between providers and individuals.”

Wisconsin Statute 49.45(29w)(b)1.b.

The Future is NowFuturistic telehealth example from 1929:

The Teledactyl (“Tele” = far; “Dactyl” = finger - Greek)

The Smithsonian Magazine, http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/telemedicine-

predicted-in-1925-124140942/ (as referenced 5/20/2016)

“The busy doctor, fifty years hence,

will not be able to visit his patients

as he does now. It takes too much

time, and he can only, at best, see a

limited number today.…This is

where the teledactyl and diagnosis

by radio comes in.”

- Hugo Gernsback, 1925
