Telehealth refers to the employment of telecommunications technologies, such as video conferencing, mobile applications, and remote monitoring devices, to provide healthcare services remotely. It comprises real-time telehealth, store-and-forward telehealth, and remote patient monitoring, which encompasses the usage of wearable systems and sensors to collect and transmit patient data to healthcare providers. It enables patients to access medical consultations and services from the comfort of their residence, reducing travel time and associated expenses. It allows healthcare professionals to diagnose, treat, and monitor patients from a distance, overcoming geographical barriers and increasing the reach of healthcare services. It also facilitates the exchange of medical information between healthcare providers, improving collaboration and continuity of care. It can provide patients with access to educational resources and information, empowering them to better manage their health and make informed decisions. Telehealth leads to cost savings for both patients and healthcare providers, as it minimizes the need for physical infrastructure and streamlines healthcare operations. It also allows healthcare providers to electronically prescribe medications, enhancing convenience for patients and reducing prescription errors. As telehealth plays a critical role in providing healthcare services during emergencies, natural disasters, or public health crises, ensuring continuity of care even in challenging circumstances, its demand is rising in Japan.
