医疗服务是一项重要的政策，体面的医疗服务是每个国家人民的需求。有三个主要障碍阻碍人们获得适当的医疗护理和治疗。第一，医务人员特别是医生的缺乏，即使在发达国家也存在这种情况。第二，在一个重要的人口问题上，老年人的增加使医疗服务的要求更高。最后，地理因素在医疗保健不平等中也起着重要作用。居住在农村或偏远地区的人口难以获得适当的医疗服务。信息和通信技术已成为一个重要的基础设施，若干领域可在此基础上加以发展，以实现更有效的解决办法。将这些技术纳入医学学科导致了目前在地球仪范围内提供的远程医疗。本文介绍了远程医疗的三个关键方面，包括现状，挑战和机遇的基础上现有的研究和实施。
Medical service is one of the crucial policies and decent medical service is required by the population in every country. There are three main obstacles which prevent people from obtaining proper medical cares and treatments. First, the deficiency of medical staffs especially physicians which occur even in the developed countries. Second, regarding an important demographic issue, an increase in the number of the elderly makes the medical services more demanding. Finally, geographical aspect also plays a major role in healthcare inequality. The population dwelling in rural or remote areas struggle from accessing proper medical services. Information and communication technologies have become an important infrastructure upon which several domains can build in order to achieve more effective solutions. Integrating such technologies into the medical discipline results in telemedicine which is currently available across the globe. This article describes telemedicine in three key aspects including current state, challenges and opportunities based upon existing studies and implementations.
