Abstract:
Telemedicine, or the delivery of health care from a distance, is an exciting field that has undergone rapid advancements over the past three decades. Previous studies have demonstrated that telemedicine can effectively assist in patient care.

Herein, we explore the development, current applications, and future of telemedicine.
