<unk> s are healthcare-related online applications that allow patients to interact and communicate with their healthcare providers, such as physicians and hospitals. Typically,<unk>  services are available on the Internet at all hours of the day and night. Some<unk>  applications exist as stand-alone web sites and sell their services to healthcare providers.
