Can you explain telemedicine?

Telemedicine is the use of telecommunications to provide patients with medical advice and services, allowing them to access healthcare without physically visiting a doctor‘s office. Many healthcare companies are adopting new technologies to offer customers alternative ways to receive diagnosis and treatment from a physician or nurse practitioner. Through telemedicine, patients can consult with a healthcare professional for referrals, advice, and more information without the need for in-person visits. Telehealth encompasses the technologies and services involved, while telemedicine focuses on remote clinical and diagnostic assistance.
