It has revolutionized in making the healthcare infrastructure strong and overall; it has improved the certain distance barriers to the rural communities which faced difficulties to access the standardized healthcare services in the past. Its perk is to save the lives in emergency situations and in critical conditions.
It has several benefits, especially to the patients that are living in some sort of isolated communities, who can receive the medical attention of a doctor far away from them without having the need to travelling to them. It is certainly most preferable to the patients that face problems in mobility like patients suffering from Parkinson’s Disease or ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). In terms of medical education, Telemedicine can pursue medical workers to excel in their practices through the best experts in the field1.
