télémédecine

Télémédecine, or telemedicine, is the use of digital technology to provide healthcare services remotely. It allows patients to consult with healthcare professionals via video calls, phone, or online platforms, reducing the need for in-person visits. Télémédecine includes activities such as virtual diagnoses, follow-up care, and remote monitoring of health conditions. This approach increases access to medical care, especially in rural or underserved areas, enhances convenience, and can improve health outcomes by enabling timely interventions. It relies on secure communication channels and often integrates with electronic health records to ensure continuity of care.
