Telemedicine

Telemedicine refers to the use of telecommunications technology to provide medical care and health services remotely. It enables healthcare professionals to diagnose, treat, and monitor patients without the need for in-person visits. This approach can include video consultations, phone calls, remote patient monitoring, and the transmission of medical data and images over the internet. Telemedicine enhances access to healthcare, particularly for individuals in rural or underserved areas, and can improve patient convenience and efficiency in health service delivery. It also encompasses the use of mobile apps and devices to manage health information and facilitate communication between patients and healthcare providers.
