What is Telemedicine ?
Telemedicine is a rapidly developing application
of clinical medicine where medical information is
transferred through the phone or the Internet and
sometimes other networks for the purpose of
consulting, and sometimes remote medical
procedures or examinations. Telemedicine may be
as simple as two health professionals discussing
a case over the telephone, or as complex as using
satellite technology and video-conferencing
equipment to conduct a real-time consultation
between medical specialists in two different
countries. Telemedicine generally refers to the
use of communications and information
technologies for the delivery of clinical care.
