Telemedicine refers to the practice of providing health care across large distances via communication technologies. Medical providers have been doing it for years via fax machines and telephones, but recent technological improvements have allowed telemedicine to expand rapidly. Telemedicine providers now use technologies like video telephony to provide services ranging from general medicine and nursing care to trauma triage and specialist services like psychiatry, radiology, and cardiology. As health costs rise and some areas suffer shortages of critical medical professionals, telemedicine has become an increasingly important part of medicine in rural areas and the developing world.
