The lack of medical doctors is already visible with the
limited number of specialists, who are not always available to
medical units, due to geographical (e.g., provincial hospitals),
time (e.g., after regular working hours), or other logistic
constraints. As a successful medical treatment depends on a
timely and correct diagnosis by doctors with special expertise,
medical services performed remotely are emerging. This
situation led to development of several types of medicinerelated
services performed remotely, ranging from Telenursing,
-rehabilitation, and -psychiatry, to Tele-surgery, and -
pharmacy.
