Abstract: Today's society faces many challenges in the field of healthcare. The emergence of new "smart" technologies, such as connected objects, could provide solutions to reduce inequality of access to care. The information communicated to healthcare professionals allows the remote monitoring of patients. With the advent of the Internet, the penetration rate of computers, tablets and smart phones has enabled the development of telemedicine at home. The main advantages of these solutions are time saving, cost reduction, particularly those related to transportation, and easier access to care. The advent of information and communication technologies has enabled the development of decentralized medicine, which may prove to be a potential solution to meeting current and future challenges of the health system, such as the difficulties of access to medical care in regions suffering from a shortage of doctors. © ISTE Ltd 2021.
