Aastha Singh, MS-MIS, Graduate Student, Unviersity of Illinois at Chicago
I am currently doing Master's in Management Information System. I have work experience of 2 years in Software Industry (Tata Consultancy Services). My inclination towards telehealth is because of the course (Survery of Healthcare IS) which I had taken in my last semester. Under the guidance of Prof.Ramaprasad and my other group members I decided to write a paper on telewellness.
