title: Extension of health and nutrition services via advanced telecommunications.
abstract: The present and future technology of telecommunications will revolutionize the promotion and dissemination of health and nutrition services. Telecommunications can extend health and nutrition services because of its communicating and tracking capability. The University Affiliated Cincinnati Center for Developmental Disorders' Federal Project and other selected projects and programs using telecommunications technology illustrate the promotion and dissemination of nutrition and health services and the economic and efficient aspects of teleconferencing, electronic mail, and video imaging. This technology must be incorporated into the field of nutrition and health to meet the changing advances in the world and to improve the nutrition and health of individuals--particularly those who are at high risk, such as children with developmental disorders and chronic diseases.
