Tele dermatology

Exchange of medical information over a distance using audio, visual and data communication with the help of telecommunication technologies is termed as tele dermatology. Tele medicine and e-health are the most commonly used applications. Tele dermatology helps to reduce time and costs. Mobile Telemedicine is a system in which at least one participant uses handheld devices in contrast to conventional stationary telemedicine platforms. Tele dermatopathology is the transmission of dermatopathologic images either in real-time with the aid of a robotic microscope or using a store-and-forward system.
