Allergology and e-health

Health has, like the rest of society, benefited from technological advances since the end of the 20th century. This e-health corresponds to different areas, both for patients, for caregivers and for institutions. Each medical specialty is involved differently in each area. In allergology, teleconsultation has particularly raised since 2020, while tele-expertise is very little used. Social Medias are providers of a lot of information on allergies but without any control on the veracity of these. The different facets of allergology can be discovered and deepened online thanks to numerous sites and apps, with content written or checked by doctors. There are still many ways to explore, including artificial intelligence and connected objects. (C) 2022 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
