Telehealthcare
“Telehealth” is generally used as an umbrella term to describe all of the possible variations of healthcare services which use telecommunications.
In store-and-forward telehealth, digital images, video, audio and clinical data are captured and “stored” on the client computer or device; then, at a convenient time, the data are transmitted securely (“forwarded”) to a specialist/clinician at another location where they are studied by the relevant specialist/clinician.
