Telemedicine is a mode of delivering health care using ICTs for medical consultation, diagnosis and patient treatment. With the help of telemedicine, clinical health care can be provided easily from a distance. While convenience is one of the most obvious applications of telehealth, the technology would have far greater impact on how we approach healthcare access for rural and aging populations, as well as those with chronic conditions.
