Telemedicine has quickly emerged as the pillar of general medicine, increasing access to care and facilitating doctors to deliver care from afar. Patients can seek medical consultation in the comfort of their homes through virtual consultations, cutting down on travel obstacles and waiting times. This method is especially useful for dealing with chronic diseases and follow-up care.
General medicine physicians are employing telemedicine for early diagnosis, renewal of prescriptions, and education of patients. With integration with electronic health records and digital monitoring devices, there is continuity of care. Challenges such as digital literacy and security of data still exist, but telemedicine is opening doors to a more accessible and efficient healthcare system.
