Telemedicine concepts and work fundamentals

Since researchers and e-health system designers found urgent need to use modern communication channels in order to serve and satisfy remote area masses particularly when central hospital for basic services not available. They found matter of reach people physically everywhere over their demands impossible to occur while their demands and regular care still on spot of interest most of the time. Some of e-health designer thought that may be make medical campaign available for while then replace it afterward by some sort of communication channels. Even this hypothesis could not meet a lot of acceptance because if we could set up a channel of communication after medical teams existence physically why not exceed the point to provide the same existence also through the same communication channel. While other researchers thought about telephone and mobile communication in cases of regular diagnostic procedures and follow up after, from many point of view it was the nearest part of work and reachable point to most of patients in remote areas and also that could determines regular needs to be physically existed in case of urgency and surgery. Before talking about the telemedicine in touch of details would like firstly to explain the concept of telemedicine and m-health:

Digital Clinic: it is the basic constituents of telemedicine communication unite and considered the main part of work patch. By digital clinic become easy to set patient movable database for farther processing and regular analytical judgments, integration of different devices and interoperability and eventually control cost effectiveness and final outcomes.

Digital patient: I guess this the difficult part and hard one to consume most of our effort with patients and masses that was briefly described by patient self measurements, patient generated data, behaviour modification and digital retention and engagement. Actually in order to create good simple steps cascades among patients that will serve most of them and teach them innovative modern channel of communications by which would be easier to contact follow up and even to monitoring the cases.

Digital device: It forms the infrastructures for the devices and communication channels thus digital simplicity, wireless and wearable devices, sensors and handheld imaging. Digital infrastructure for telemedicine and m-health look like media of data existence which serve the aim of flowing data between medical workers and patients over different levels of medical services and demands.

It was not imaginable ever that solution has gave patients remote monitoring and diagnosis through mobile and later through web over PC screens by cloud data service provision directly with medical staffs.  Moreover all of these services when patient still there in living place with unmentionable effort of own side. The work does not get and run that fast but took decades throughout process of evolving and progress to the form we have known at our present. There are still opportunities for development and additional modification for existed tools could be better if they change for better and may be the best in near future. Full health J
