Nous avons suivi les essais et les d\u00e9veloppements de l'application de la t\u00e9l\u00e9m\u00e9decine en g\u00e9n\u00e9tique, qui ont produit des r\u00e9sultats positifs. La t\u00e9l\u00e9m\u00e9decine utilise la technologie pour combler les \u00e9carts g\u00e9ographiques entre le clinicien et le patient. Plut\u00f4t qu'un clinicien doive se d\u00e9placer dans diff\u00e9rentes zones pour g\u00e9rer des cliniques, ou que des patients se d\u00e9placent pour voir le clinicien, les t\u00e9l\u00e9communications peuvent \u00eatre utilis\u00e9es pour connecter le patient et le clinicien.<\/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
