healthcare team members, their care partners,
and patients including:
• email, web messaging, and an integrated
health record
Electronic Communication and Connectivity
❑ Encompasses patient education and self-
monitoring tools including:
• interactive computer-based patient education, home telemonitoring, and telehealth systems
Patient Support

❑“healing at a distance”
❑ “The delivery of health care services, where distance is a critical factor, by all health care professionals using information and communication technologies
Telemedicine
Classifications of telemedicine apps
1.) Store and Forward or asynchronous telemedicine
2.) Real time, or synchronous telemedicine
1.) Involves the exchange or pre recorded data between two or more individuals at different times
2.) • requires the involved individuals to be simultaneously present for
immediate exchange of information, as in the case of video conferencing
1.) Store and Forward or asynchronous telemedicine
2.) Real time, or synchronous telemedicine
1.) Remote health counseling and remote consultation
2.) Patient’s with mental disorders often refuse to see a doctor. In many cases despite seeing a doctor, they refuse to talk to their doctor about their life issues leading to serious disorders
1.) Teleconsultation
2.) Remote Psychotherapy
1.) Is an important application of TLM for the diagnosis or treatment of patients
2.) Pathology, the study of changes in cells and tissues that occur during disease. Remote pathology, the process of identifying damage in a patient far
1.) Remote Imaging
2.) Telepathology
1.) The study of changes in cells and tissues that occur during disease
2.) The process of identifying damage in a patient far
3.) Can also be used to diagnose damage in a variety of patients remotely
1.) Pathology
2.) Remote Pathology
3.) TLM
1.) Remote skin treatment and can be used to help individuals with skin diseases
2.) Due to the growth of the elderly population and the shortage of specialist physicians, home care through TLM has great growth potential.
• This type of treatment is required for the majority of patients with cardiovascular disease and chronic respiratory diseases
Remote home medical care
1.) TLN can be used to monitor a variety of patients remotely
2.) • Emergency patients are examined by experienced physicians assigned at medical centers at this level of service
1.) Remote patient monitoring
2.) Patient care in emergencies
1.) • In this TLM system, a doctor positioned at a distance from the medical center concurrently locates various patients suffering from level one medical illnesses, such as colds and hypertension disorders.
2.) In the TLM system, several general practitioner visits at the
first level of medical service require specialized medical services. This technology can establish a three-way communication between a technical center’s physician or
specialists, the general practitioner, and patients from various medical centers
1.) Patient care at the first level of health care
2.) Specialized counseling system
1.) Robots and modern medical systems are used to preform remote surgery
2.) It uses cognitive behavioral therapy to treat several psychological issues in children
3.) • In times of crisis TLM can provide a dependable and accessible means of fully functional communication, despite
the severity of accidents and infrastructure damage.
1.) Remote surgery
2.) Telemedicine
3.) The use of telemedicine in crises and unforeseen events
is the cost-effective and secure use of information and communications technologies in support of health and health-related
fields, including health-care services, health surveillance, health
literature, and health education, knowledge and research”
the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) for health
