Features of Telemedicine

Telemedicine is now a proven and established method for societal benefit, offering various healthcare services like chronic health management, prescription compliance, remote care, and critical support. Tele-wearables also play a role in patient healing and health monitoring (Haleem et al., 2021).

Chronic Health Management

Telemedicine plays a crucial role in managing chronic health conditions by providing continuous monitoring, remote consultations, and personalized care plans. Patients with chronic illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can benefit from remote monitoring devices that track vital signs, such as blood pressure, blood glucose levels, or oxygen saturation. Healthcare providers can remotely review this data, identify trends, and intervene promptly if necessary. Telemedicine also facilitates regular follow-up appointments through virtual consultations, allowing patients to discuss their symptoms, medication adherence, and lifestyle modifications with their healthcare team. By enabling proactive management of chronic conditions, telemedicine helps to prevent complications, reduce hospitalizations, and improve the overall quality of life for patients.

Prescription Compliance

Telemedicine promotes medication adherence and compliance by streamlining the prescription process and providing patient education and support. Through electronic prescribing (e-prescribing) systems, healthcare providers can electronically send prescriptions directly to patients’ pharmacies, eliminating the need for paper prescriptions and reducing the risk of errors. Patients can receive reminders and notifications through telemedicine platforms to take their medications on time, refill prescriptions as needed, and track their medication adherence over time. Additionally, telemedicine allows patients to communicate with their healthcare providers about any concerns or side effects they may experience, facilitating medication adjustments or modifications when necessary. By promoting adherence to prescribed medications, telemedicine helps to improve treatment outcomes and prevent disease progression.

Throughout Care

Telemedicine ensures continuity of care by facilitating seamless communication and coordination between patients, healthcare providers, and specialists across different care settings. Whether a patient is receiving primary care, specialty consultations, or post-operative follow-up, telemedicine enables access to healthcare services from anywhere, at any time. Through virtual consultations, patients can consult with their primary care physicians, specialists, or therapists without the need for travel or face-to-face appointments. Telemedicine platforms also allow healthcare providers to securely share patient information, medical records, and test results, ensuring that all members of the care team have access to relevant clinical data. By promoting collaboration and information sharing, telemedicine enhances the continuity and quality of care for patients throughout their healthcare journey.

Store and Forward

Store-and-forward telemedicine involves capturing and storing patient data, images, or records and forwarding them to healthcare providers for review and analysis at a later time. This asynchronous communication method is particularly useful for sharing diagnostic images, laboratory results, or clinical notes between healthcare professionals in different locations or time zones. For example, a primary care physician may capture photos of a skin rash or lesion and send them to a dermatologist for evaluation and diagnosis. Similarly, radiologists can review and interpret imaging studies, such as X-rays or MRIs, remotely, without the need for patients to be present. Store-and-forward telemedicine enhances access to specialized expertise, reduces wait times for diagnostic evaluations, and facilitates timely decision-making in patient care.

Screening Programs: Remote screening programs for diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and mental health issues can be developed using telemedicine platforms.

Rehabilitation Services

Physical therapy: A patient can receive instructions while at home and perform guided physical therapy while the therapist monitors real-time progress.

Post-operative care: Telemedicine can facilitate post-surgery follow-up and rehabilitation to support the patients’ recovery outcomes.

Emergency care and Triage
