Abstract


The fusion of healthcare and information technology in eHealth informatics has rapidly evolved in recent years, presenting transformative possibilities for healthcare delivery. This article explores advancements, challenges, and emerging trends in this dynamic field, including telemedicine, wearable devices, Artificial intelligence, and data analytics. Despite promising developments such as predictive healthcare and personalized medicine, challenges like data security, interoperability, and ethical concerns must be addressed. Looking forward, the integration of genomics, Virtual Reality, and Argumented Reality is expected to reshape healthcare practices, emphasizing the importance of understanding and navigating these dynamics for an efficient, accessible, and patient-focused healthcare landscape.
