Why Telemedicine?

Yes, I agree with you, telemedicine is a modern online treatment. Yes, it is convenient in a metropolis for people with an Internet with smartphones. And what about people in villages, in abandoned collective farms who do not know what an Internet and a smart phone are? .
I believe that in the field of medicine there should always be high-quality software. After all, we are talking about the health of patients and their care. And such software should work without failures.
There is a very cool application https://trembit.com/industries/telemedicine-app-development.html there is even an ambulance button. The developers have tried so hard that even an ignorant person can handle this telemedicine application. A very cool developed medical program can be exited with any device.
very much agree, it is a very modern treatment today, having advanced technology in the area of medicine for obvious reasons is always a great and very positive idea, many scientific and medical advances have been possible thanks to technological advances, with that I tell you everything
I have understood the same thing that you have written in this post, that Telemedicine increases the efficiency of the provision of care in addition to reducing the costs of patient care and transportation to another place and that it can even keep patients out of place, it seems to me Something incredible
