Abstract

Telemedicine is disseminating health-related information and services using electronic technology and telecommunications. Telemedicine enables long-distance patient-clinician communication and care as well as reminders and education. It also permits remote admissions.Health care providers, patients, and the public may benefit from easier access to information via Telemedicine. Telehealth is frequently considered to save the health care system money because of its digital nature. However, there is a wide range of data to back this claim. In performing economic assessments of telehealth services, the personnel assessing them must be informed of the possible results and extra clinical advantages of the telehealth service.There are serval benefits of Telemedicine. During Covid-19, Telemedicine has become a huge platform for patients to interact with physicians with satisfactory telemedicine services. This review paperfocused on Telemedicine, its advantages and disadvantages, its importance, and patient satisfaction.
