About Telemedicine

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines Telemedicine as:            “the practice of healthcare using interactive audio,  visual and data communication. This includes healthcare delivery, diagnoses, consultation and treatment as well as education and transfer of medical data.”

Closely associated with telemedicine are the terms "telehealth" or "e-health" often used to encompass a broader definition of remote healthcare that does not always involve clinical services. Videoconferencing, transmission of diagnostic images, remote monitoring of vital signs, continuing medical education and nursing call centers are all considered part of Telemedicine.
