Abstract:
INTRODUCTION:In recent years Internet has drastically transformed the world of telecommunications. Questions about whether Internet and the global communication accessibility may be considered as a fundamental aspect in the medicine of today and tomorrow have been brought up. OBJECTIVE:Discuss current and future applications of Internet to the field of Medicine and Neurology. METHODS:Bibliographical review based on Medline and standard Web search engines. Forum sessions performed through Internet by means of Web-Chat. Forum coordination entirely performed by electronic mail. RESULTS:There are several opinions regarding the influence of Internet on Medicine and Neurology. Currently, the communication and collaboration between teams is improving. It allows scientific publications on-line, improves continuous remote training and facilitates information to patients. New applications like telemedicine need more development. CONCLUSIONS:Currently, Internet represents an efficient tool for collaboration, training and distribution of information in the field of Medicine and Neurology.
