Telemedicine

Telemedicine refers to the use of telecommunications technology to deliver healthcare services remotely, allowing patients to consult with healthcare providers and receive medical care without physically visiting a clinic or hospital. Telemedicine encompasses a wide range of services, including virtual consultations, remote monitoring, telehealth platforms, and mobile health applications. It enables healthcare providers to reach patients in remote or underserved areas, improve access to specialty care, and enhance convenience for patients. Telemedicine has become increasingly important, especially during public health emergencies like the COVID-19 pandemic, facilitating continuity of care while minimizing exposure risks. It holds promise for expanding access to healthcare, improving health outcomes, and enhancing patient experiences in a digitally connected world.
