What is telemedicine?
Telemedicine includes a variety of tools and platforms that allow doctors to connect with patients in an easy way, as well as with each other. Telemedicine between patients and doctors is most commonly seen as:
- A real-time audio-video or telephone communication linking doctors and patients in different locations;
- An online platform that collects images and data to be interpreted later;
- Remote patient monitoring tools, such as blood pressure monitoring devices, Bluetooth-enabled digital scales, and other wearable devices that communicate biometric data for review;
- Online digital visits and/or short check-in services provided via communication technology that is used to assess whether or not an office visit is warranted ( through patient portal, smartphone).
