"Telehealth" refers to the use of digital
communication technologies to access and provide remote healthcare
services.
It encompasses, for example, virtual doctor consultations and
treatments, including mental health therapies, remote patient
monitoring, remote rehabilitation services, and digital health
platforms, e.g., for symptom tracking and medication assistance.
Telehealth allows patients to receive medical care and
consultations from healthcare professionals without the need for
in-person visits, making healthcare more accessible, convenient,
and efficient.
Telehealth inventions often involve geographically distributed
systems in which health data may be collected from user devices in
one country and then transferred to a server in another country for
processing and analysis.
