Telemedicine (also referred to as "telehealth" or "e-health") allows health care professionals to use "connected" medical devices in
the evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of patients in other locations. These devices are enhanced through the use of telecommunications
technology, network computing, video-conferencing systems and CODECs. Specialized application software, data storage devices, database management
software, and medical devices capable of electronic data collection, storage and transmission are all key components of the Telemedicine
infrastructure.
Telemedicine customarily uses two methods to transmit images, data and sound - either "live", real-time transmission
where the consulting professional participates in the examination of the patient while diagnostic information is collected and
transmitted, or "store and forward" transmission, where the consulting professional reviews data asynchronous with its collection.
Many programs employ both transmission capabilities, to maximize efficient use of resources appropriate to the medical services being
provided.
