abstract = "The technology of telemedicine and e-health has now reached the stage awaiting wide scale application with promising potential benefits to many of the developing countries scourged persistently by the plague of resource constraints and harsh natural topography. The transmission of medical images from a remote understaffed health center to any bigger hospital for specialized and enhanced diagnosis is now a possibility through the use of Internet protocol. We apart from looking at the state of telemedicine and its variety deals as a case study in the possibility of introducing teleECG over IP which can go a long way in enhancing the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases in the rural areas of Trashiyangtse and Lhuntse in East Bhutan.",
