Applications of Telemedicine are endless, the capabilities are miraculous and yet it is not fully understood. The idea of this Virtual Conference cum workshop is to de-mystify Telemedicine and explain it in a language that is accessible to all potential users. It will provide a channel for continuous access to sophisticated medical support systems, at all times. Telemedicine improves patient care, enhances medical training, standardizes Clinical practice, stabilizes costs and unites clinicians worldwide.
The Virtual Conference cum Workshop focuses on Telemedicine which is now being extensively used in the healthcare sectors. Telemedicine and medical informatics are expected to grow at a high rate in coming years, boosting growth of medical care technology. In Telemedicine, one transfers the expertise, not the expert or the patient. The term telehealth includes all health care services including prevention and counselling services while telemedicine refers to remote diagnosis and treatment
We are organising this Virtual Conference cum Workshop to introduce the exciting new area of Telehealth and convince the attendee that virtual health care is already becoming the new normal.
Join your peers from around the country to focus on learning about Telemedicine and related advances. Ask all the questions you want, listen to other questions and get answers from the Guru of Telemedicine.
