Abstract

Telemedicine is using telecommunications technology for medical diagnosis and health care. It includes tr ansmitting test results down
phone lines, using video technology for long distance consultations or education, and many other uses. The review found studies
showing various forms of telemedicine are feasible , but there is not yet enough evidence to show the effects on health outcomes or costs
of many expensive uses of technology. Overall, people self -monitoring at home or having video consultations were satisﬁed with their
experience. More research is nee ded to assess the effects of the range of telemedicine techniques.
