Telemedicine is the use of medical information exchanged from one site to another via electronic communications for the health and education of the patient or health care provider and for the purpose of improving patient care.
Telemedicine is the transfer of electronic medical data (i.e. high resolution images, sounds, live video, and patient records) from one location to another. This transfer of medical data may utilize a variety of telecommunications technology, including, but not limited to: ordinary telephone lines, ISDN, fractional to full T-1’s, ATM, the Internet, intranets, and satellites. Telemedicine is utilized by health providers in a growing number of medical specialties, including, but not limited to: dermatology, oncology, radiology, surgery, cardiology, psychiatry and home health care.
The integration of telecommunications technologies, information technologies, human-machine interface technologies, and medical care technologies for the purpose of enhancing health care in space flight.
Telehealth/Telemedicine are broadly defined as the use of telecommunications and information technologies to provide health services, training and information to health care providers and consumers. The essence of TH/TM is the delivery of services and information to individuals in their own communities instead of the movement of people to centers of health expertise. As such, TH/TM are emerging as significant new tools in addressing the cultural, socioeconomic, and geographic barriers to health services and information in underserved urban and rural communities. Benefits include local access to specialty care, enhanced primary-careservices, and the increased availability of medical education and health information resources in medically underserved communities.
Telemedicine is the use of telecommunications for medical diagnosis and patient care. It involves the use of telecommunications technology as a medium for the provision of medical services to sites that are at a distance from the provider. The concept encompasses everything from the use of standard telephone service through high speed, wide bandwidth transmission of digitized signals in conjunction with computers, fiber optics, satellites, and other sophisticated peripheral equipment and software.
