Telediagnostics

The use of telecommunication technologies to remotely perform diagnostic procedures and interpret medical data. Telediagnostics enables healthcare professionals to assess patients’ health conditions without physical presence

 

Telemedical Imaging:

The application of telemedicine for capturing and transmitting medical images, such as X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans, for remote interpretation and diagnosis by radiologists or specialists.

 

Remote Diagnostic Testing:

Diagnostic tests conducted at a distance, with patients collecting samples or using diagnostic devices at home. Results are transmitted electronically to healthcare professionals for interpretation and analysis.

 

Digital Pathology:

A branch of telediagnostics involving the digitization of pathology slides. Pathologists can remotely view, analyze, and interpret tissue samples, aiding in accurate diagnoses and consultations.

 

Teleultrasound:

The use of telemedicine for conducting ultrasound examinations remotely. It involves transmitting real-time ultrasound images to specialists for interpretation and diagnosis.

 

E-Health Monitoring Devices:

Wearable or portable devices that collect real-time health data, such as heart rate, blood pressure, or glucose levels. Telediagnostics utilizes these devices to remotely monitor patients and identify potential health issues.

 

Telecardiology:

Telemedicine applications in cardiology, allowing healthcare providers to remotely monitor and diagnose heart-related conditions using electronic communication and digital data.

 

Telepathology:

The practice of pathology at a distance, where pathologists analyze and interpret pathology slides, cytology samples, or other specimens remotely, often through digital imaging.

 

Teledermatology:

The use of telemedicine for dermatological consultations, enabling remote assessment and diagnosis of skin conditions through the exchange of images and patient information.

 

Remote Electrocardiogram (ECG) Monitoring:

Continuous monitoring of a patient’s cardiac activity through remote transmission of ECG data. This allows healthcare professionals to diagnose and address cardiac issues in real time.
