The Popularity Of E-clinics

Online telemedicine practice is growing as it is time and cost effective

Advancement in healthcare technology has created a ripple that enhances the user experience. Telemedicine is one recent innovation that is constantly improving and truly enables provider and patient mobility. Technological advancements have brought about a noticeable change in the medical field. It allows doctors to diagnose, evaluate and cure patients using telecommunications technology, in remote and urban areas. Though traditional, in-person visits to the clinic always exist for critical and sensitive illnesses, online telemedicine practice is growing as it is both time and cost-effective.

E-clinic is a very new concept in India. E- clinics are like health care centres set up in remote areas to provide basic health amenities to the masses. Many telemedicine centres have been set up in the country but there is still a need for quality E-clinics to grow and cater to medical needs. The rural population has difficulty meeting their doctor in-person, as they have to travel a long distance to the city for proper medical treatment.
