Tele-endoscopy

Tele-endoscopy is a medical procedure that allows doctors to examine the inside of a patient's gastrointestinal tract remotely, using advanced video technology. During the procedure, a flexible tube with a tiny camera, called an endoscope, is inserted into the body. The live video feed is transmitted wirelessly or via a network to a specialist in a different location, enabling real-time diagnosis and consultation. This approach improves access to expert care, especially in remote areas, and enhances collaboration between healthcare providers. Overall, tele-endoscopy combines endoscopic technology with telemedicine to facilitate accurate, efficient gastrointestinal assessments.
