Telemedicine: Implementation, Challenges and Opportunities in the Global World

Abstract

Medical service is one of the most important policies, and every country's population requires adequate medical care. There are three major roadblocks that prohibit people from receiving good medical treatment and care. First, there is a shortage of medical personnel, particularly physicians, which occurs even in rich countries. Second, a key demographic issue, an increase in the number of people living in poverty, Finally, geographical component also plays a key impact in healthcare inequity. People who live in rural or isolated places have a hard time getting good medical care. Information and communication technology have evolved into a critical infrastructure upon which other areas can construct more effective solutions. Integrating such technologies into the medical field is a huge step forward. As a result, telemedicine is now available all over the world. Based on existing studies and implementations, this article analyses telemedicine in three important aspects: current state, obstacles, and potential.
