Kami telah mengikuti percobaan dan perkembangan penggunaan telemedicine dalam Genetik, yang telah menghasilkan beberapa hasil positif. Telemedicine menggunakan teknologi untuk merapatkan jurang geografi antara doktor dan pesakit. Sebaliknya seorang doktor yang terpaksa melakukan perjalanan ke kawasan yang berlainan untuk menjalankan klinik, atau pesakit yang melakukan perjalanan untuk berjumpa dengan klinik, telekomunikasi boleh digunakan untuk menghubungkan pesakit dan klinik sebagai gantinya.<\/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
