  • telemedicineConvenience and cost – This alternative form of healthcare is a lot more convenient as people can get treated without having to leave their home. They don’t have to wait long periods of time before being seen. They also can avoid the high cost bills that come with office visits.
  • Long Distance Treatment –People with unique diseases that live in rural areas now have better access to specialists. This new technology can ultimately save lives.
  • Education – Telemedicine also provides opportunities for healthcare professionals in remote locations to receive training.

Others are for the patients to gather diagnostic data, for example, or simply to help coordinate care, giving patients an easy way to keep track of their conditions and treatments.
