As it is a new concept and new industry, there is only limited experience to draw on, and this experience was accumulated mostly in the United States. Israel, which is a small but sophisticated market, is one of the few countries that have begun using Telemedicine. Israel is a high-technology producer and user, and sees its ability to use the existing developed infrastructure as a solution to some of its health care problems. U.S. companies active in the field of Telemedicine will find a growing and accessible market for their products in Israel. As it has not been developed until the last three years, it still encounters the difficulties of a new concept.
Health care is inclined to be traditional.
As the use of Information Technologies has spread widely, it affected other industries. This sub-sector's development is motivated first and foremost by the promise for better care for the chronically ill. As a direct result, the monitoring centers were established. The centers improved emergency response time, and made available critical life saving treatment to an endangered population. The various devices available cover the range of cardiac diseases, including asthma patients, and the different types of blood-pressure dangers.
