What is telemedicine?
Telemedicine is the practice that allows modern-day doctors to care for patients remotely where
neither the patient nor the health care provider is at the same geographical location.
When did telemedicine become popular?
Doctors started using telemedicine in the 1950s. However, it was predominantly used by specialists to
facilitate the sharing of information, especially with practitioners in remote areas.
In the recent pandemic, telemedicine has been used more frequently to minimize possible spread of
infection.
Who can use telemedicine?
Anyone who does not require emergency health care services.
What are some of the benefits I can look forward to with telemedicine?

clinics for a face to face consultation with your doctor. - Less time away from work – You will not have to ask for time off for your doctor’s appointment.
- Privacy – Telemedicine cannot be beaten for its level of privacy. Your consultation happens at home
and your information is protected and strictly confidential. - Uninterrupted child or elderly care responsibilities – You don’t have to find a baby sitter or a geriatric
nurse to look after your loved ones while you go to your doctor’s appointment. - No exposure to contagious patients – The risk of you going in with one condition and coming back
home with another is eliminated.
