“…Artificial satellites, internet, mobile communication and cloud communication are some of the several ways that have been identified to be used for providing eHealth services (Srivastava et al, 2015). Satellites have been especially useful in developing countries where internet accessibility is still poor (Amble et al, 2004;Chronaki et al, 2007;Malik, 2007;Rajashekhar and Ayyangar, 2012;Lach and Vazquez, 2017;Sachpazidis et al, 2008;Sangal et al, 2004;Storetmann, 2014;Tyrer, 2009). Due to the explosive use of mobile phones across the globe, mobile communication is the most popularly used mode of eHealth services (Akter et al, 2013;Huang et al, 2012;O'Reilly and Spruijt-Metz, 2013;Rubrichi et al, 2014).…”

The demand and cost of healthcare are on the rise, but it is still important to optimize the care of all patients, while containing the cost of healthcare. There is an increasing need to develop systems that deliver goodquality health care and are cost-effective, especially in developing countries. Due to technological advancements, new healthcare delivery models are being developed to improve healthcare accessibility, especially to distant areas and for emergencies. One of these models of healthcare delivery is eHealth. There is a wide variability in the scope and focus of eHealth. eHealth is an umbrella term that includes telemedicine, mHealth, telecare, ePublic health, eMental health or telehealth. Artificial satellites, internet, mobile communication and cloud communication are some of the several ways that have been identified to be used for providing eHealth services, all with their benefits and applications. The use of eHealth in the delivery of healthcare has a wide range of identified benefits for the service users (clients and patients) and service providers (health professionals). Various barriers to healthcare delivery are set to be broken by the optimal utilization of eHealth. In spite of all these benefits, eHealth is not without its potential risks and challenges. To improve the viability of eHealth in the market and increase its use globally, authors therefore recommend that the risks have to be minimized and barriers lifted.

“…The communication between these network nodes may be accomplished using the second layer. In this scenario, sending and receiving data between IoT objects will be achieved using intelligent applications such as healthcare systems [46][47][48]. The first layer is used to communicate with second layer HAPs.…”

A dual coverage system for Internet of Things (IoT) environments is introduced. This system is used to connect IoT nodes regardless of their locations. The proposed system has three different architectures, which are based on satellites and High Altitude Platforms (HAPs). In case of Internet coverage problems, the Internet coverage will be replaced with the Satellite/HAP network coverage under specific restrictions such as loss and delay. According to IoT requirements, the proposed architectures should include multiple levels of satellites or HAPs, or a combination of both, to cover the global Internet things. It was shown that the Satellite/HAP/HAP/Things architecture provides the largest coverage area. A network simulation package, NS2, was used to test the performance of the proposed multilevel architectures. The results indicated that the HAP/HAP/Things architecture has the best end-to-end delay, packet loss, throughput, energy consumption, and handover.

“…There have been some publications indicating the use of satellite communication for providing health services to rural areas of the developing countries like India [ 15 , 18 , 22 ], Mexico [ 16 , 18 ], Peru [ 17 ], Brazil [ 17 ], Rural America [ 23 ], Crete [ 19 ], South Aegean [ 19 ], sub-Saharan Africa [ 24 ], and Pakistan [ 20 ]. In [ 21 ] the authors discuss about diagnosing the disease by the transmission of cardiac sounds of a patient located at a distant or rural.…”

The infusion of information communication technology (ICT) into health services is emerging as an active area of research. It has several advantages but perhaps the most important one is providing medical benefits to one and all irrespective of geographic boundaries in a cost effective manner, providing global expertise and holistic services, in a time bound manner. This paper provides a systematic review of technological growth in eHealth services. The present study reviews and analyzes the role of four important technologies, namely, satellite, internet, mobile, and cloud for providing health services.
