The present study examines the impact and role of technology in teaching and learning. Despite its short life, E-learning has entered well into all aspects of the educational system and has become widespread. Due to its special features, this system of education has found its place among educational experts and has been the focus of countless educational systems. Various reports published by organizations such as UNESCO indicate that information technology has caused fundamental changes in the learning process. Today, according to the diversity of societies, people, their creativity and interests, there is a need for diversity of learning methods and this requires a new form of education that has sufficient flexibility in this field. Recent developments in the computer industry and multimedia systems have provided ways to improve learning and better access to information. Computer-based instruction, which is often reciprocal or interactive, relies on the use of multimedia devices. Multimedia environments have created qualitative and fundamental changes in the learning process by increasing productivity. This evolution, which initially started with the employees training in institutions, has now reached the classrooms of advanced countries, and now in these countries, multimedia software packages for teaching high school and even elementary lessons are offered in various languages.

Understanding contemporary perspectives on telehealth and its impact on human lifestyle and behavior is crucial for informing public health initiatives, one of which is telemedicine-a rapidly expanding discipline that utilizes electronic information and communication tools to provide healthcare services remotely. Telemedicine has gained increasing interest due to its demonstrated practical efficacy, cost, and time savings, enhanced patient and clinician satisfaction, and positive impact on patient mortality and quality of life. The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the telehealth significance in addressing ongoing healthcare needs while reducing in-person clinic visits and limiting human exposures. Our findings suggest that the benefits of telemedicine include overcoming geographic barriers, making it especially beneficial for rural and underserved populations. However, there are still challenges to widespread telemedicine implementation, such as a lack of technological literacy, concerns about losing a personal connection with healthcare providers, and apprehension about communicating sensitive information. This review examines telemedicine as a current scenario and the potential of integrated IT-based solutions at the global and Indian levels, drawing from exploratory research articles, reviews, perspectives, and policy documents. The need and significance of telemedicine in incentivizing healthy behavior are also discussed herein.
