远程医疗也被称为远程医学实践,即利用信息技术确保医疗服务的提供。远程医疗在世界和印度都不是一个新概念。印度空间研究组织(ISRO)于2001年在印度启动了远程医疗试点项目,2005年,卫生与家庭福利部通过连接所有主要医疗机构启动了全职远程医疗项目。远程医疗正在跨越国界和文化连接人们。远程医疗领域正在出现基于需求的变化,如智能应用程序、私营部门参与者的参与以及高速互联网连接延伸到农村地区和人口分布困难的地区。在新冠疫情期间,远程医疗通过提供健康信息和咨询服务而不违反身体接触限制,使人们受益。远程医疗应用程序易于获取、成本低且无需基础设施,这促使其在当前物理距离被考虑的情况下成为首选,因此我们可以得出结论,远程医疗是一个有前途的工具。
