In my opinion, initially eHealth may comes from electronic health because it is the emerging field that health services and information technology, via electronic devices, are intersection.
Nowadays the definition of ehealth is much more boarden, basically , eHealth is still the way to incooperate into health care to promote health and well being. However it is involved in various form of technology
