As the name implies, telemedicine refers to the use of technology to deliver healthcare services. A telemedicine app makes this service mobile and more convenient.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), telemedicine was coined in the 1970s. There are four elements that make it the unique discipline that it is:
• Provision of clinical support; • Overcoming geographic barriers; • Use of different kinds of technologies; and • Improving health outcomes.
It is an “open and constantly evolving science” because technology and medicine continue to adapt to advancements in research. A related but slightly different term is telehealth. This refers to services provided by health professionals, not necessarily doctors, like pharmacists and nurses. However, both terms are almost synonymous and are often used interchangeably.
