Telemedicine is the basic element of eHealth, which uses wide range of information and communication technologies. Telemedicine is a telecommunications technology for providing remote healthcare services through real-time two-way communication between the healthcare provider and patient, by using electronic audio and visual means. It eliminates the necessity for physical visit to get medical advice and treatment. It includes various services and applications using video communication, wireless tools, email, smart phones and others. It covers all healthcare services delivered remotely with the help of telecom technologies. It uses medical information to improve, maintain, and assist patient status.
Telemedicine is categorised as store-and-forward, remote monitoring and interactive services. Store-and-forward involved acquiring medical data and transmits it to the medical specialist or consultant. It does not require presence of the specialist and patient at the same time. Remote monitoring, also known as self-monitoring, enables medical professionals to monitor patient remotely using various technological devices. Similarly, interactive services provide real time interaction between the provider and patient.
