  • 摘要:

    This paper analyzes telemedicine, the application of distant computer-mediated communication technologies in healthcare, and its permeability and susceptibility to cyberterrorist attacks. Although telemedicine has the ability to transcend geographical boundaries to escape the constraints of temporal boundaries, to lower financial costs in medical care exchange and delivery, to boost patient comfort, satisfaction, and security, and to digitize health communication and relevant information via web-based services, telemedicine is also dangerously vulnerable, as it is open and exposed to devious, computer-savvy individuals waging attacks via computer technologies. Those individuals are also known as cyberterrorists. Their main objective is to alter information and impede normal communication channels in this vital health communication context. This could have a detrimental effect on an entire community.
