“…The founders of this telemedicine network, Timothy Kenneth Bird (1918-13/02/1991) and W. Scott Andrus (10/08/1938-19/05/2013), introduced the term "teleradiology" in 1972 (Andrus and Bird 1972b), and later conducted a scientific assessment of the reliability and diagnostic value of remote interpretation of radiographs via video conferencing (for the first time ever, the values of sensitivity and specificity of telemedicine diagnostics on an array of 198 radiological images of the chest, musculoskeletal and genitourinary systems were obtained using the analysis of characteristic curves) (Andrus and Bird 1972a;Andrus et al 1975a;Andrus et al 1975b;Murphy et al 1970).…”

In 2017, amendments to the Federal legislation on health care were adopted, which confirmed the possibility of using telemedicine technologies within the health care system of the Russian Federation. Telemedicine has been successfully used for about 150 years. Since the advent of the first electronic telecommunications, the possibilities for their medical use have been sought. This article systematises information about the history of the use of telecommunications for remote interaction in radiology and presents the way from experiments on facsimile transfer of radiographic images (the 1920-1930s) to the establishment of the teleradiology concept as a tool for solving diagnostic and organisational/managerial problems of radiology (the late 1970s). The first experiments on the remote transmission of photographic copies of X-ray images by telegraph were conducted in the mid-1920s. The first interhospital network for the exchange of medical images was launched in Canada in 1957-a successful exchange of fluoroscopic images to improve diagnostics took place in Montreal between two hospitals. In the 1940-1960s, under J. Gershon-Cohen's supervision, several teleradiological networks ensuring the transmission of photographic copies of X-ray images for remote interpretation were launched in the United States. For the first time ever, methodological foundations of teleradiology were formulated as a tool for organising and managing public health care. The term "teleradiology" was introduced by W.S. Andrus and T.K. Bird in 1972. The same researchers carried out the first scientific assessment of the diagnostic accuracy of remote interpretation of the results of radiographic examinations. In the late 1960-1970s, television systems (cable, slow-scan, etc.) were used to broadcast medical images, and their complexity and high cost were hampering the advancement of teleradiology. However, by the early 1980s, it was convincingly shown that teleradiology significantly expanded the capabilities of health care systems, sped up diagnosis and optimised hospital resources and staff time.

“…Múltiples especialidades en medicina se han unido al concepto de la telemedicina, en las que se destacan la telerradiología, telepatología y la telecardiología, siendo la primera de éstas la más común [41,3,42], con la excepción de la radiología intervencionista. En cuanto a la telecardiología, han llevado a la práctica exitosamente procedimientos que sólo se realizaban en un ambiente hospitalario; como es el caso del EKG (electrocardiograma) y del monitoreo de un sistema de marcapasos [43].…”

ResumenIntroducción: En la actualidad las intervenciones en salud ya sean de tipo diagnóstico o terapéutico no son distribuidas equitativamente, por lo cual garantizar la prestación de servicios de salud representa un reto incesante para muchos programas en diferentes países; sin embargo, gracias a los avances tecnológicos en telecomunicación y procesos de imágenes, es ahora posible ofrecer varios servicios de salud a un mayor número de la población a distancia con un buen nivel de calidad; esto se define como telemedicina.Método: A través de una búsqueda sistemática de la literatura médica en las bases de datos: Medline, ieeexplore, Scielo, por medio de las palabras mesh: Medical informatics, technology management, telemedicine, E-health, Latinoamérica, se buscó reconocer los datos relevantes con respecto a la historia, las aplicaciones actuales y futuras de la telemedicina.Desarrollo: Después de seleccionar la mejor evidencia según los objetivos de esta revisión, se procedió a analizar la importancia de la historia, aplicaciones en especialidades de medicina, ventajas y desventajas, barreras que limiten el desarrollo, y experiencias de la telemedicina en Latinoamérica.Cáceres-Méndez E. A., Castro-Díaz S. M., Gómez-Restrepo C., Puyana J. C., Telemedicina: historia, aplicaciones y... Conclusión:Actualmente el uso de la telemedicina avanza rápidamente y podría representar una buena alternativa para complementar en términos de costo-efectividad a muchos de los programas de salud que se ven alrededor del mundo, ya que facilita la toma de decisiones terapéuticas y diagnósticas en diferentes escenarios clínicos y complementa la formación académica en las escuelas de medicina; sin embargo, aun existen barreras de infraestructura principalmente los altos costos de inicio e instalación, que deben ser tenidos en cuenta, en especial para los países en desarrollo.Palabras clave: telemedicina, informática médica, educación a distancia.

Telemedicine is a technological tool that enhances well-being all around the globe. Practicing medicine or performing a clinical examination from a distance was a mere thought until this decade's pandemic hit the world. Telemedicine is practicing medicine sitting on one side of a globe and diagnosing and treating a different individual from the opposite part of the world. There is a long way to go for medical practitioners to execute an entire clinical examination analogous to an accurate clinical examination. Telemedicine is a supplement to a patient's total care, not a replacement for in-person doctor visits. Family doctors can easily access specialists using telemedicine, which enables them to monitor their patients closely. Numerous telemedicine systems, including store and forward, real-time and remote, or self-monitoring, are used worldwide for education, healthcare delivery and control, sickness screening, and disaster management. Even if telemedicine cannot solve every issue, it can significantly lessen the strain on the healthcare system. Nevertheless, investigations performed via telemedicine have started incorporating various medical instruments called telemedicine peripherals, including electronic stethoscopes, teleophthalmoscopes, and video-otoscopes. The prevailing disease around the globe of coronavirus has remarkably debilitated the medical infrastructure in providing diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, and follow-ups. As a result, there is a significant change in the way of practicing medicine and managing patients. Telemedicine provides timely patient care and reduces the risk of exposure to various communicable diseases offered to medical practitioners. The development of imaging technologies has significantly impacted dermatology, a specialty that relies on visual signals. Reviewing dermatology's existing situation and potential digital future, in brief, is the goal of this study. This study provides brief information on telemedicine, its application and scope in dermatology, and how it can alter the healthcare system.
