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.
