Telemedicine is the process of using information technology or telecommunication devices in order to offer patients clinical assistance without any physical contacts. This process makes it easier for physicians to diagnose patients and check up on them at a time agreed upon by both parties. Telemedicine also allows patients to easily coordinate with their physicians, particularly if they are living in rural areas. With today’s technological advancement, gadgets with high quality videos allow patients and physicians to communicate to each other with convenience, less cost, as well as more efficient, as sending of images and files can be attained in a short period of time.
