3. 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.
