Telemedicine is a form of remote medical practice using information and communication technologies. It puts a medical professional in contact with one or more healthcare professionals, with each other or with the patient and, where appropriate, with other professionals providing care to the patient.
It makes it possible to establish a diagnosis, to provide a patient at risk with preventive monitoring or post-treatment monitoring, to request a specialist opinion, to prepare a therapeutic decision, to prescribe products, to prescribe or carry out services or procedures, or to monitor the condition of patients.
The definition of telemedicine acts and the conditions for their implementation are set by decree.
