The term ‘telemedicine’ refers for remotely caring or offering consultation to the patient where the doctor and patient are not physically present. This new technology has allowed doctors to advise patients using video-conferencing tools that are compliant with HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). Telemedicine has made healthcare more accessible to the patient along with making it cost-efficient and increasing patient engagement.

Telemedicine was introduced in the late 1950’s to treat patients with inadequate access to healthcare facilities in remote areas. This is, however, becoming an instrument of convenience in healthcare services. Telemedicine offers an alternative option for patients who do not want to spend their time in the waiting room of the doctor's office. Through telemedicine the patient can seek real time consultation with the doctor and also receive appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

With easy accessibility to a mobile phone or computer, availing basic telemedicine services is readily becoming convenient. Telemedicine is highly beneficial to patients residing distant location who find it difficult to visit the doctor or who do not have access to appropriate doctor.

Why telemedicine services?

Telemedicine is an essential tool that can be used for the betterment of all, especially in times like this.

By doing so, patients with suspected contagious virus can take all necessary precaution and spread it to others he/she comes in contact with.

Telemedicine also has enabled the doctor to diagnose the patient effectively without physical contact, which can also be a preventive measure in cases of contagious diseases. This preventive measure will help administer proper treatment without worrying of developing the disease themselves.
