These days, technology plays an important role in medicine, and telemedicine is one of these technologies . Telemedicine allows doctors to consult with patients remotely, which may seem complicated, but with the right knowledge and technology, telemedicine can become a part of patient care .
The technical infrastructure required for remote visits depends on various factors such as: the location of the patient and the type of treatment required. Also, there are different ways to provide these services to patients, such as:
Network Connections - Telecare clinics connect to larger healthcare facilities via high-speed Internet. Therefore, part of any telemedicine interaction requires patients to first be present at the site of the telemedicine interaction. The medical staff prepares the examination room with diagnostic equipment (in preparation for communication with the doctor) before the interaction of the medical center begins.
Point- to-point connections - Connecting smaller remote units to a larger central healthcare system via high-speed Internet. For example, low capacity clinics can provide special care from specialists of larger clinics in the same health care system.
Remote Patient Monitoring - Providing remote care for patients seeking immediate and more immediate access to health care for non-urgent conditions. In this type of interaction, digital communication is used between patients at home and the health center.
