“…Utilization of telehealth can increase the access to health services, enhance provision of health education by providing cost-effective intervention [18]. Another study showed that video conferencing technology might be a cheaper and less time-consuming solution compared to traditional regular health care visits [19]. Integrating telehealth with the healthcare institution's electronic database can reduce resource usage and also can improve treatment compliance for the people who are homebound and disable [20].…”

Keeping up with a sound health is a fundamental right for the human beings. It also acts as an indicator of the socio-economic development of a country. However, nowadays keeping sound health is challenging because of rapidly increasing non-communicable diseases. Concurrently, we are on the edge of very fast technological advancement which includes usage of cellular technology, high-speed internet and wireless communications. These technologies and their unique applications are creating lots of new dimensions in health care system which is known as e-Health. The medical call centers, emergency tollfree telephone services are being used in all over the world. The newly developed electronic health system can play a vital role in the remote regions of emerging and developing countries although sometimes it seems difficult due to the lack of communication infrastructure. E-Health can be a promising aspect for providing public health benefits if it integrates with the conventional medical system. More strategic approaches are necessary for the planning, development, and evaluation of e-Health. This article is written to depict the existing and future opportunities of e-Health in health support system.

Abstract. The use of intelligent technologies for providing useful recommendations to patients suffering chronic diseases may play a positive role in improving the general life quality of patients and help reduce the workload and cost involved in their daily healthcare. The objective of this study is to develop an intelligent recommender system based on predictive analysis for advising patients in the telehealth environment concerning whether they need to take the body test one day in advance by analyzing medical measurements of a patient for the past k days. The proposed algorithms supporting the recommender system have been validated using a time series telehealth data recorded from heart disease patients which were collected from May to January 2012, from our industry collaborator Tunstall. The experimental results show that the proposed system yields satisfactory recommendation accuracy and offer a promising way for saving the workload for patients to conduct body tests every day. This study highlights the possible usefulness of the computerized analysis of time series telehealth data in providing appropriate recommendations to patients suffering chronic diseases such as heart diseases patients.
