Abstract
Tele-health is more than an innovative alternative; it is an excellent tool that
enables access to health and education in health, making it possible to minimize
distances, optimize time and reduce costs. Based on these advantages, some Brazilian
Universities have used these actions in strategies of education, research and
extension, aiming at the application of Tele-health in Brazil. In that way, the Bauru
School of Dentistry - University of São Paulo (FOB-USP) has applied the use of
information and communication technologies in health by means of a "Tele-Health
League" (TL), in order to diagnose, prevent and treat diseases, in addition to
educate the population and health services.
