What is telemedicine?

Telemedicine service is a medical activity in which a medical institution (inviter) invites other medical institutions (invitees) to provide technical support for the medical institution to treat patients by using communication, computer and network technology (hereinafter referred to as information technology). Medical institutions use information technology to directly provide diagnosis and treatment services for patients outside medical institutions, which belongs to telemedicine services. Telemedical services include: remote pathological diagnosis, remote medical imaging (including imaging, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, electrocardiogram, electromyography, EEG, etc.). ) diagnosis, remote monitoring, remote consultation, remote outpatient service, remote case discussion and other items specified by the health and family planning administrative department at or above the provincial level.

It is reported that in some developed countries, the use of telemedicine has helped patients to shorten the hospitalization time and emergency times. It is pointed out that the development of telemedicine plays a key role in benefiting patients and the sustainability of medical system. Foreign telemedicine systems can provide the latest patient monitoring and some health training. Through data transmission between hospitals and community centers, telemedicine system can provide easy-to-use technologies, through which patients can monitor their own illness, and at the same time, specially trained personnel are responsible for monitoring the results and can provide remote health services.

In order to ensure the medical safety and quality of patients, doctors are first required to provide medical services to other patients in their own medical institutions through the telemedicine service facilities of medical institutions, and bear legal responsibilities.

Secondly, equipment is the core of telemedicine, and excellent remote equipment is the key. Minova Medical is a company specializing in the research and development of medical digital imaging, and has introduced many products such as Staray series digital X-ray machines, micro-dose digital breast X-ray machines, digital pet X-ray imaging systems, radiation workstation software, MINI PACS and so on.

The workstation software of Staray digital X-ray imaging system is a medical image storage and transmission system independently developed by Minova Company. Advanced design concept and implementation technology are adopted, which are fully compatible with international norms and standards such as DICOM and HL7, and optimized for domestic hospital environment. The workstation software developed by Minova Medical has the functions of dual-screen display, efficient integrated control, powerful graphic report and novel CAD view, which can realize the permanent centralized storage of digital medical image information, enjoy and apply medical image information across departments, better realize telemedicine, build an information bridge between hospitals and patients, and promote the service management level of the whole medical system.

Network medical care ≠ telemedicine, some network medical platforms can not be accurately diagnosed only by the patient's condition description, so we need to be cautious. With the development of information technology, telemedicine will be more perfect and convenient, providing better medical services.
