Telemedicine refers to remote diagnosis, treatment and consultation of the wounded and sick in remote areas, islands or ships with poor medical conditions by relying on computer technology, remote sensing, telemetry and remote control technology and giving full play to the advantages of medical technology and medical equipment in large hospitals or specialized medical centers.
It is a brand-new medical service, aiming at improving the level of diagnosis and treatment, reducing medical expenses and meeting the medical care needs of the broad masses of the people. At present, telemedicine technology has developed from the initial TV monitoring and telephone remote diagnosis to the comprehensive transmission of digital, image and voice by using high-speed network, realizing the communication between real-time voice and high-definition image, which provides a broader development space for the application of modern medicine. The development of foreign countries in this field has a history of more than 40 years, while China has only received attention and development in recent years.
Internet medical treatment is a new application of the Internet in the medical industry, including health education, medical information inquiry, electronic health records, disease risk assessment, online disease consultation, electronic prescription, remote consultation, remote treatment and rehabilitation and other forms of health medical services.
