Abstract

With the recent development in the field of Information and Communication Technology, there are many different ways to deliver health services remotely. Over the last few years there has been a vital change in providing medical consultation to patients, video chatting is proved to be one of the most essential ways of Telemedicine or Telehealth. This remote way of providing consultation is ensuring provision of medical facility to people who reside countryside, who used to travel long distances in order to get regular health check-ups. The main goal of improvising telehealth in day-to-day practice is to enhance end user’s experience, increase the efficiency as well as quality of medical services provided to common people. Nowadays, telehealth can be considered as a strong alternative over the traditional methods. With the increase in outreach to people, these health services have become fast paced and completely digitized. Such services are even more useful for people with a disability or aged people suffering from chronic diseases.
