Telemedicine

Telemedicine means 'the provision of healthcare at a distance using electronic communication for diagnosis and treatment'. With the help of the latest technology, now it is possible for a doctor in one city or country to send text, images, and even video footage to a specialist in another city or country for an exchange of opinions and information. Telemedicine also allows patients to stay at home ensuring much needed family support and get expert medical opinion.

After the treatment at any Lifeline Group of Hospitals the patient can continue to consult the doctors at the hospital, through the telemedicine facility for follow – ups. The patient has access to pre and post-surgical evaluation of a specialist without the constraints of distance .This technology provides better patient services that are also cost-effective and timely. Patients can consult Cardiologist/ Cardiac Surgeons sitting in their own cities through Video Conferencing/Telemedicine.

Lifeline hospital also reaches out to remote areas through telemedicine where quality care is not available, keeping in mind that “no Indian should be deprived of a specialist consultation wherever he/she is”.
