Telehealth

Telehealth refers to the delivery of healthcare services and information through digital communication technologies. This includes a wide range of services such as virtual consultations between patients and healthcare providers, remote monitoring of patient health, and the provision of health education and information online. Telehealth can encompass various modalities, including video conferencing, phone calls, mobile applications, and online patient portals. The goal of telehealth is to improve access to medical care, enhance the convenience of receiving treatments, and facilitate better communication between patients and providers, especially in situations where in-person visits may not be feasible. It has become increasingly important in expanding healthcare access, particularly in rural areas or during emergencies like pandemics.
