Telehealth

Telehealth refers to the provision of healthcare services and information remotely, using telecommunications technologies. It encompasses a wide range of digital tools and platforms that enable healthcare professionals to connect with patients, diagnose medical conditions, and provide treatment without the need for in-person visits. Telehealth leverages technologies such as video conferencing, mobile apps, and secure messaging to facilitate virtual consultations, remote monitoring, and the exchange of medical information between healthcare providers and patients. This approach not only enhances access to healthcare services, especially in underserved or rural areas, but also promotes convenience and flexibility for both patients and healthcare practitioners. Telehealth has become increasingly relevant and widely adopted, particularly in situations where physical presence poses challenges, such as during a global health crisis, ensuring that individuals can receive timely and effective healthcare regardless of geographical barriers.
