Telemedicine - Geography is History

Abstract

In contrast to the conventional medical practice where the patient and doctor meet each other in person and interaction & physical examination take place, in telemedicine doctor and patient are at a distance and medical practice is carried out. In telemedicine, medical information is transferred through post, phone, internet or any type of communication network for the purpose of medical consultation or remotely supported medical procedures. Telemedicine generally refers to the use of communication and information technology for the delivery of medical care from a distance.  

The technological standards, equipment needed, the legal position, the draw backs are all discussed in detail.
