Hemos estado siguiendo los ensayos y desarrollos de la aplicaci\u00f3n de la telemedicina en Gen\u00e9tica, que ha arrojado algunos resultados positivos. La telemedicina utiliza la tecnolog\u00eda para cerrar las brechas geogr\u00e1ficas entre el m\u00e9dico y el paciente. En lugar de que un m\u00e9dico tenga que viajar a diferentes \u00e1reas para administrar cl\u00ednicas, o que los pacientes viajen para ver al m\u00e9dico, se pueden utilizar las telecomunicaciones para conectar al paciente y al m\u00e9dico.<\/p>\n
The opportunities for telemedicine have grown with more and more of the general population having access to video calling facilitates. The specific application of telemedicine in Genetics is also referred to as \u2018telegenetics\u2019. While some people might have an image in their heads of patients making Skype calls to a Genetics Consultant or Genetic Counsellor from the comfort of their own home, many of the trials have been more of a hybrid. Patients travel to their local healthcare provider, who provide the video conferencing facilities and host the virtual consultation. This provides the benefits of improving accessibility for all patients (not just those with access to teleconferencing facilities), authenticating the patient\u2019s identity and allowing on site medical personnel, who may not be trained in Genetics, to be able to assist by taking any necessary measurements.<\/p>\n
