Telemedicine

Telemedicine is the use of telecommunications technology to provide medical services and information remotely. It enables healthcare professionals to diagnose, treat, and manage patients using digital communication tools such as video conferencing, phone calls, and mobile apps. Telemedicine facilitates access to healthcare, particularly for individuals in rural or underserved areas, and can enhance the convenience of medical consultations by allowing patients to connect with providers without the need for in-person visits. This practice encompasses various services, including virtual consultations, remote monitoring of patients, and digital transmission of medical data and imaging. Telemedicine aims to improve the efficiency of healthcare delivery while ensuring patients receive timely medical attention and ongoing management of their health conditions.
