What benefits does telemedicine provide for a patient?

Answer 1

With the advent of telemedicine, patients and clinicians separated by distance can interact with one another electronically. In a real-time telemedicine session, the patient is generally in a remote location from the physician and receives medical care via an audio-visual connection with a provider located off-site and directly by the provider at their location. Store-and-forward telemedicine is a term used to describe services in which medical information is captured electronically and transmitted to a remote site for a health care provider to review, analyze or report at a later time. Use of technologies and devices to remotely monitor a patient's condition is referred to as telehealth. Remote physiological monitoring and medication adherence remote monitoring are also examples of telehealth services.
