Abstract:
Armenia's early adoption of telemedicine began with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) collaboration following the 1988 Spitak earthquake, providing critical medical support. The 2022 legalization of telemedicine by the Armenian Ministry of Health marked a significant step toward improving healthcare delivery. Current regulations only apply to doctors and lack clear terminology for different telemedicine interactions, highlighting the need for broader and more inclusive policies. Despite regulatory progress, telemedicine adoption in Armenia faces challenges such as insufficient digital literacy, infrastructure, and integration into medical education and practice.
